Euthanasia With Consent From the Affected Individual With an Incurable Disease Euthanasia to many people is considered murder, I, on the other hand, believe that it is a deathly sick person's own decision to continue living life or not. When so many people are enduring prolonged deaths as a consequence of chronic, progressive diseases which contribute to needless suffering, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, it makes life worse for both the dying person and loved ones of that person. If an extremely ill person makes the decision that they want to end their life then they should not be forced to continue dying and suffering. A family has the option to "unplug" a family member from life support if they are in comma or perhaps their brain dead. Often, the patient in the comma does not have any communicable opinion in making the decision; it is completely up to their family members.

There is no reason to forcefully continue the needless suffering and pain of a deathly sick person.
