The Nationwide Legalization of Euthanasia

In today's society there are many disagreements about the rights and wrongs of

euthanasia. Although death is unavoidable for human beings, suffering before death is

unbearable, not only for terminal patients, but for the family members and friends. So what is

Some things Dyck say in this article are offensive. She offers up rare cases and generalizes them as the majority of the cases. Euthanasia is not something that has to do with money, health care, and medical bills. It has to do with the love for the patient, and making their inevitable death as peaceful and compassionate as possible.
