Euthanasia, also known as doctor assisted suicide, and whether or not if it should be legalized is a very controversial. Euthanasia essentially is permission for doctors to end the lives of terminally ill people to end that pain. It being a very debatable topic some may argue that if there is no positive signs in sight then rather the patient suffer; end it.

Dr. Low passed away in 2014. The legalization of euthanasia would also help families as they would be able to say a final goodbye instead of having to go through watching someone they love suffer.
