Euthanasia legalized murder?

Euthanasia is legalized murder. A legal framework wherein a person’s life can be terminated with or without his consent is legalized murder. Euthanasia is that legal framework.

In the US, a person or his family has to pay the medical bills by themselves. In a scenario where the person doesn’t want to be a burden on his family who has limited resources, he can ask to euthanize himself. This is the same as asking a hit man to shoot you so that your family doesn’t have to go through paying your debt. Asking a hit man to kill you is in any circumstance a murder committed by the hit man. Euthanasia is the same as a hit man killing you, but in this case it is the doctor who is the hit man and won’t go to jail. So, in practice killing someone is the same as Euthanasia but only euthanasia is legal.

Euthanasia can be used by people who want to commit suicide but are afraid to do it themselves. Suppose a man loses his job and goes under a lot of stress, but can’t pull the trigger on himself. He just has to prove that he is mentally ill. This is nothing but assisting suicide which is banned in most of the countries around the world. Euthanasia is just a form of assisting someone to commit suicide. One can even argue that euthanasia is tantamount to pushing the stool of a hanged person.

A person who is suffering from a terminal illness is not dead and any advances in science can one day save his life and bring him back to the real world. Euthanasia deprives the person from this chance. Taking someone’s opportunity to live is also categorized as murder.

Euthanasia ensures pain free death, but there are ways to keep a person alive and pain free. It is unethical, against the will of god and takes someone’s opportunity to live. Doctors can kill anyone they want who is on life support and doesn’t have any relatives. This gives doctors a legal way to kill an afflicted person. The right of doctors to kill is nothing but just legalization of hit man who has been asked to shoot a person. Therefore euthanization is legalized murder.
