Euthanasia has been, and always will be, a controversial moral and ethical subject. While the majority of both Americans and Canadians seem to support euthanasia as indicated by the latest polls, it is still illegal in both countries. I think it is important to first distinguish between passive euthanasia and active euthanasia. Passive euthanasia is the stopping or not starting some treatment which allows a person to die. Active euthanasia, the more controversial of the two, is doing something such as administering a lethal drug or using other means that cause a persons death. My main focus will be on active euthanasia. A prime example of active euthanasia is the Robert Latimer case. ... I will discuss reasons why some people support euthanasia, why others oppose it, and then offer my own opinion.
People who support euthanasia believe that terminally ill patients have the right to die with respect and dignity.
