I. Introduction
A. Attention Getter: As hard as it may be for some of us, I would like all of you to imagine yourself not being able to walk and you are barely able to breath, let alone speak along with not being able to eat, severe weight loss and muscle fatigue. You are in such unbearable pain and you cry out for help but no one seems to listen.

b. Legalizing euthanasia would help ease the suffering of terminally ill patients. A journal on the Pros and Cons of Euthanasia states that it would be inhuman and unfair to make them endure such overwhelming pain.

a. Many people insist legalizing euthanasia will lead one thing to another only making things worse. Dimanno wrote that euthanasia is just a slippery slope to the annihilation of human beings. She claims that this is not merciful it is
