Euthanasia is a merciful medical practice

There are many medical practices that are followed with a controversy. Abortion, stem cells and cancer treatments are examples of a few. But one that gains attention but not the same amount of attention that those other ones do is euthanasia.
For those of you who do not know what euthanasia is, it is the practice of killing someone in a painless or minimal painless manner. People usually do it when a patient has a disease, such as cancer or AIDS and that there is no hope for survival and the pain that the condition is causing them is too much for them to handle. So a doctor injects them with something that kills them.
There are many different kinds of euthanasia, there is euthanasia by consent. This means that the patient has voluntary expressed that they would like to have this procedure done if they get to a certain point in their disease.
Another kind is physician assisted dying, which is when a doctor provides the family of that person a prescription to hasten their death. The family does not have to give the patient the medication, but can if they want to.
There are other kinds of euthanasia but I believe these two are the most prominent. There are some people who say that euthanasia should not be practiced and that it is up to God when to decide who lives or dies. Well what if those people do not believe in God? Or what if those people think this is the way of God calling them?
I don’t think it should be anyone’s decision but their own or their families to decide if they should die or not. Personally, I would not want to live that like, I would rather be put of my pain and allowed to die peacefully. I could not care less what anyone else said.
People that do not believe in euthanasia are ignorant and should keep their opinions to themselves. If they are put into that situation and do not want to die or let a family member die, fine. It is their decision and I respect that. But do not tell me what I should or should not be allowed to do with my life or the life of a family member. Keep your mouth shut.
Death is really the only thing in life that is truly your own. Birth, you share with your mother. Life you share it with a lot of people. But your death is your own and you should be able to go when you want.
