Should Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide Be Legal?

Euthanasia has always been in controversy because of its large number of pros and cons that can be found, there are many medical and specialist publications on this subject, but I think the main problem arises when questioning to what extent the person has the right to decide about his own life.

The right of people to decide is extremely important but first I think we should take into account some points.

First, the people who made this decision are those who are under very great periods of suffering and stress, for example, when a person feels very bad (independent of the disease), the only thing that is sought is to end the discomfort faster as possible, without thinking about anything else.  In my opinion, support is extremely important, either from the family or from specialists in the subject, in addition to the fact that the quality of life can be improved if palliative methods are used for the disease.

Second, the thin line that crosses for people who want to take this option, for example, in Belgium the limit is removed, generating that anyone who thinks that their life is no longer good enough, can opt to this system. Support is the most important thing for all people, when someone goes through very traumatic or painful situations the assistance of specialists is essential.

To finish explained, I think that people will always have their right to decide what they find correct, but personally I think there may be different ways to cope with a serious problem that leads to that decision.
