Petition: Legalization of Euthanasia

1. People who are terminally ill, and cannot be treated

As doctors and physicians, they should not be allowed to end a patient's life, but the case is different when the doctor cannot TREAT the illness. Many terminal illnesses gives a lot of pain to patients and they are suffering a lot. Some terminal illness gives pain that are extremely unbearable. Even though painkillers can help at first, as the patient keeps using the same painkillers, it will start to lose effect. Then they will attempt to use stronger painkillers, which will also gradually lose effect. When they start to use the strongest painkillers, and when that loses effect, there's nothing else they can do. They have to bear with the pain until death. It is very painful to know that you only have more pain before death, and you are not allowed to end that pain.

2. People who are NOT mentally unstable

When people are mentally stable, sometimes they do many things they regret. If they are caught up in one moment, they might say they want to die and regret it the next moment. Mental illnesses for example depression can be treated, and it is a waste of a life for someone who could have been treated to end their life instead.

3. People who do not have the ability to end their own life (Ex: paralyzed.)

To put it more simply, if a person wanted to suicide, they wouldn't wait for euthanasia to be legalized; they would just end their life by themselves. It makes more sense that the people who do not have the ability to end their lives to want Euthanasia legalized. If they are in pain, and Euthanasia is not legalized, they can only wait. If they are really suffering a terminal disease that only death awaits them, they still have to wait; because Euthanasia isn't legalized.

Therefore, I think that Euthanasia should be legalized under those three conditions. Please sign this petition if you also think that Euthanasia should be legalized under the conditions. Thank you so much for your time and effort!
