Euthanasia : Agree or not?

Euthanasia originally from the Greek, which mean the intent of a “death in peace" or "death with no pain". Besides, the Webster dictionary defined it as "peace and fine death".

Euthanasia is for those incurable disease patients to reduce their pain. However, this becomes one of the Controversial Topic. At the extreme ends of disagreement, advocates say euthanasia, also known as physician aid in dying, or physician assisted suicide, is a merciful method of death. At the other end are opponents of euthanasia, who may consider this method as a form of murder.

Euthanasia still consider illegal in most countries, but some of the countries already accept it. Why this being accepted by certain countries but not for all?

I not either extreme ends of disagreement or agreement and I’m not sure whether we have our own right to decide our life. If yes, then nothing wrong if we decide to “kill” ourselves.

On the other hand, doctor might be considered as “assist murder” in assisting the patient kill themselves. On my opinion, patient pay to the doctor to cure them from illness, of course doctor need to satisfied the patient. In term of the limitation of technology, the illnesses are incurable, and then patient pay for the doctor to help them away from the pain is nothing wrong. Of course, the term and condition is the patient is Volunteer and sign in black and white, also this have been agreed by their direct family.

Either let the patient alive in painful everyday until they “leaving” or give them a “peace and easy death” now, which is cruel?
