For example, people give up the right to speed while driving in order to protect pedestrians and other driver. However, why must people who are sick relinquish their right to decide when they are ready to stop suffering? Euthanasia allows patients with chronic diseases and illnesses to “die with dignity” which gives and already suffering person the right to decide when they are ready to succumb to their disease (Mihaela,2012). People deserve the right to choose when they are ready to die. However tragic a death is, the patient should still have the option to chose how and when they die. In fact, “Of the 988 terminally ill patients, a total of 60.2% supported euthanasia or PAS” when surveyed (Emanuel, Fairclough, Emanuel). Although few of the patients surveyed will actually choose to end their own life, the majority of them believe that euthanasia is a basic human right. Death is not some thing that should be belittled, but neither is a person’s happiness. If a suffering patients is unhappy and ready to final move past their disease, then said person should have the legal right to take their life into their own
