L EGALIZING E UTHANASIA The right to die or the right to live?

A RGUMENTS IN S UPPORT OF E UTHANASIA  No one should be forced to live in pain and suffering.  Everyone has the right to their own bodies.

A RGUMENTS A GAINST E UTHANASIA  Patients may feel pressured into choosing this option to relieve their families.  Oregon implemented the Death with Dignity Act (1997)

D EATH WITH D IGNITY A CT  Legalized physician- assisted suicide  About one-third of patients chose euthanasia to relieve their families  Unbearable pain a reason for a small number of cases

A RGUMENTS A GAINST E UTHANASIA  The focus should be on the duties we have to care for the ill and dependent.  There will be no definite way to keep it under control.  More cases of involuntary euthanasia and for illegitimate reasons  Already out of control in places where it is legalized

R EPORTS FROM THE N ETHERLANDS  Dutch doctors only report half of all euthanasia cases.  Three surveys determined at least 1,000 patients killed through involuntary euthanasia every year.
