yes, I personally think euthanasia should be legalised. I think that everyone should have the right to decide when they die. At the end of the day, we are in fact autonomous beings; meaning, we are not controlled by anyone. If we want to die then it's our own choice and not anyone elses. It’s our life and we can do whatever we want with it.

I’ll share a personal experience. My nana recently died from cancer and when I went to visit her in the hospital, I could tell she was in a lot of pain just by looking at her. She made some crazy facial expressions. And she could hardly talk… she was always jerking around because of the agony. She wanted to die. She couldn’t eat or go to the toilet because she was in so much pain. My grandad even asked the doctor to turn off the machine keeping her alive just to end it all. But we weren’t allowed, having to wait 2 long weeks for her to die. It was horrible, and I hope no-one else has to go through it.

Also, I’m sick of hearing stuff like, ‘God created life, so he is the only one that can take it away’. That’s stupid. Not everyone believes in God. Like my whole family. We don't read the bible or go to church.

I think it would only be acceptable to implement if the person is beyond hope of a recovery. As long as the person wants it, then I think its okay. If the person has decided that life has become too unbearable and they wish to be released from the suffering, how can someone possibly deny a wish like that?

If we can put animals out of their misery, why not the same with humans? I did work experience at a vet, and saw animals get put to sleep all the time. Infact, I hope I die as peacful as those animals did.

Personally, if I were in the position of having the choice of ending my suffering if I was terminally ill or using life-support I would take it. Without a doubt. Just my opinion.
