Legalization.

[Faith No More]

I disagree because my ethics hierarchy (personally mine) is composed by 3 values 1 - Life 2 - Justice 3 - Freedom. Most times, I don't support anything that violates life, therefore I don't support the death penalty or euthanasia (this doesn't mean I want it illegal, I just don't approve it ethically, it is still an act for taking a life, even if done for compassion). The thing is we need to think if problems would arise, eg my professor told us euthanasia could give origin to organ trafficking and other problems like taking out the weakest members of society. Another problem, many people may want euthanasia and regret, I remember a guy in my country, he has no arms and legs, wanted to be euthanized, but after a few years he is now happy and says he regrets his former wishes.

If life is at the top of your heirarchy, you should also recognize that the quality of said life is an extremely important factor. It is a fact of life that existence can become so painful that non-existence is preferrable. If you truly value life, you should value that fact and recognize that people in certain situations will have so much pain that their want to die will rise to a need.

Euthanasia is not taking a life. It is the willful relinquishing of one's own life with help.

Also no euthanasia if you are physically capable of doing it yourself, this is a logical necessity, if you are unhappy you kill yourself, don't ask for help

How about if I have been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, but can still physically move well enough to kill myself? Do you think the ethical thing would be to refuse me the assistance of a medical professional and force me to take a much less pleasant route, like throwing myself off a building?
