I agree with the argument for euthanasia that suggests “that there is nothing wrong with feeling that you ought to die for the sake of others as well as for yourself.” If one’s quality of life has diminished to the point where they no longer desire to live and are suffering from a terminal illness or disability they should have the option to choose death. Often patients are forced to stay alive, degenerate, and then are kept in vegetative states for the sake of their families. Once in this state a patient’s choice and free will are taken away from them. Once one loses their free will some would argue that they lose meaning to their life and lose all reasons to want to live. Some patients want the choice to die before mental decline overwhelms them and they no longer feel as though they are the person they once were. Just as one patient says in the being of the article, “I have nearly lost me.” Additionally, I would like to advance the argument that since health care system resources are limited one should focus these recourses on patients who desire them and from which the patient will benefit. Patients in vegetative states do not benefit from being kept alive. These patients have no awareness of themselves or the environment around them. People should be offered the choice to die when facing degenerative illnesses. People suffering from these illnesses should not be forced by law to suffer and degenerate if this is not how they want to live. With medical advances where will we draw the line of keeping people alive and prolonging the lives of terminally ill patients.
