Death from laughter

in this world have incurable diseases who live and suffer everyday, but there is a medication out there that can relieve them from the pain and have them rest in peace. Knowing someone who is incredibly ill is very hard, but having the ability to end their own life peacefully is not how most people imagined their life coming to an end. To know one can stop suffering from a rare disease that can not be cured, and be free is an incredible gift as well. Euthanasia should be legal. There is a…

the ability, in special cases, to have their life ended has resulted in many court cases, meetings, and votes. Although euthanasia is illegal in the majority of the United States, this has not stopped suffering patients from crying out for help; therefore, a literal call for death.

Physicianassisted suicide is legal in four U.S states: Oregon,…
