Euthanasia, also known as mercy killing, is the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering. While euthanasia is legal in some countries, it remains a controversial topic, with many people holding strong opinions on both sides of the debate.
Those who support euthanasia argue that it can be a humane way to end suffering for people who are terminally ill or who are experiencing unbearable pain. They also argue that euthanasia can give people a sense of control over their own death and allow them to die with dignity. Opponents of euthanasia, on the other hand, argue that it is unethical to take a human life, even if the person is suffering. They also worry that legalizing euthanasia could lead to a slippery slope, where euthanasia is used for reasons other than to relieve suffering.
