Pro Euthanasia

Imagine being trapped inside a body which you have no control on, you can hear and see but can not respond, can not move or do anything. You dependent on a separate person for even the most basic needs of your body. I cant!. I love my life because I can live it. And feel it’s almost barbaric to leave a person to suffer like that. He/she probably wakes up every morning hoping they are dead. They are so helpless that they can’t even get up and kill themselves…what is the purpose of their lives, laying on the bed waiting for death every day, every hour, every minute, every second…

Here I am not taking about people who have made it a way of life and are happy, have people around them to love and care about them but about people who wish to bring it to an end.

Now the other side of the story is that we have no right to take somebody’s life away, which is correct in every sense of it, but then what is Capital punishment all about? If we say we can not take somebody’s life just because he/she has become a vegetable then do we really have a right to give someone a death penalty, who has all the chances of living a better life.

My question is if a person has lost the will to live can we really force him?
