Should We Legalize Euthanasia?

The name of my group’s country is Marmicnicno, it simply represents the names of each of the founding members. While establishing the background of our country we decided that we wanted our citizens to have political, economic, and religious freedoms, but we also wanted to take a risk on a government system that is not commonly used. At the conclusion of that, our government of choice was an anarchist. While anarchy is typically defined as lack of government, Marmicnicno still has a system of democracy in place. When it came to making decisions as to what we wanted our country to do, we would have an open discussion to debate pros and cons of each potential choice. Typically it would start with someone reading the question and establishing …show more content…
There was one question, however, that we had to debate about what the best answer really was. The question was about whether we should allow our doctors to use euthanasia, which is commonly referred to as ‘assisted suicide’.

In the world rankings, Marmicnicno thrives in any of the freedom categories. Our civil rights are labeled as “very good,” while our political freedom is labeled as “excellent.” The biggest economical gain that our country gets from being an anarchst is that the private industry in Marmicnicno is astounding. It accounts for 83.5% of the total economy. While the private industry excels, anarchy also has major cons when it comes to the economy.

One of the cons that can be expected when running an anarchist government is the crime rate. When looking at the causes of death in Marmicnicno, death by murder accounts for nearly 8% of the
