Euthanasia has become a very controversial subject in today’s society. The topic of euthanasia has become a huge debate over the years. There are many different opinions; whether it is ethically correct or not? This subject is important to me, because my grandpa had cancer and passed away from it several years ago. My grandpa knew that the disease had metastasized and he decided to seek palliative care. He allowed the disease to take its course, while the doctors and nurses kept him comfortable.…
