Legalization of Euthanasia

Legalization of euthanasia refers to making it lawful for a person, usually suffering from a terminal or intolerable condition, to choose the peaceful ending of their life with medical assistance. This often involves strict criteria and safeguards to ensure the decision is voluntary and well-informed. Advocates argue it respects personal autonomy and relieves suffering, while opponents raise ethical concerns about the value of life and potential abuses. When legalized, euthanasia is typically regulated by laws that outline eligibility, procedures, and oversight to protect patients and healthcare providers.
