Euthanasia Should Be Allowed

Euthanasia is a controversial subject in the medical world so should it be offered to patients who may want to go through with it. Euthanasia should be allowed because it can be considered ethical, it’s the patient’s choice, and the patients have a reason for why they choose Euthanizing.
