Euthanasia

The euthanasia is a very controversial topic, many people of the world submit to this procedure, and the same time, many people fight against this option for multiple reasons. Then, I exposed some elements about this subject, and finally I will give my opinion.

On the one hand, there is a group of people that argue that the euthanasia goes against the moral and religious precepts, people thinks that this procedure is like a suicide, and explains that the last decisions about life not correspond to the human will. Also, there is a fear around this topic because seems difficult to define the limits or the regulation of the procedure, being that any could be demand this option, and this is obvious problematic.

In the other hand, there is a many people that sustained the euthanasia is a legitimate option, because everyone has the last word about his own life, in extremely case, the family. In this sense, many opinions goes to take out of the debate all of arguments that want imposes any power over the lives of people. Obviously, most of these persons have present the fact of the procedure is, en first moment, only available of individual that suffer terminal disease.

In this case, in my opinion, both parts have elements that are impossible forget, for that, I consider that euthanasia is an option that has to be, because nobody can forbid to other person or a family put final to life, Of course, in the case of terminal disease. I consider that the euthanasia must be regulated. if the person wants to commit suicide, is another discussion. In this topic the religious and the moral have to be treated whit precaution, because are not universal truths.
