Euthanisia should be legal :

For :
Every person has the right to choose to live or die
Dying is not immoral because it doesnt infringe a persons wishes. Infact murder
is the act which does that.
Euthanasia gives relatives freedom to move on with their lives instead of just
sitting and looking at their loved ones die a slow peaceful death.
Euthanasia protects dignity of a person
It is a necessity in todays world because not every disease is curable.
Saves money of life care when you know the person is not curable.
Time frame should be set only then euthanasia should be allowed.
Euthanasia doesnt harm others, it is properly carried out under rules. So it is not
like people are physicians are not just killing people at a death wish.
It gives life to others in need and does not actually shorten life span significantly.
Euthanasia quality matters not quantity.

places without getting into the harm of other people.
There are more important issues to focus upon.
