Euthanasia is when you kill someone out of mercy or to stop them from suffering. In Australia it is currently illegal to kill someone out of mercy. But euthanasia should be legalised. People are living their lives with unbearable pain, they have the right to die peacefully and painlessly. It is a person’s choice if they want to suffer or not it is not immoral to end someone’s pain.
There are victims who are living with unbearable pain and just want to be rid of the agony. A woman living with ALS can’t do anything without the help of her carer. She can’t walk, shower, go toilet or do anything simple in life. She just sits in a chair all day and all she wants to do is to finally end her suffering.

If a victim wants to end their suffering then it is no one else’s business bet theirs. Imagine you had a terminal illness with no cure and you were suffering every day the same routine the same thoughts and you can’t do anything about it. Wouldn’t you want to end your life? If euthanasia was legalised in Australia then the victim should be given a psychological test to determine whether or not they really want to die. That way people can’t complain that the person wasn’t in the right headspace that’s why he/she wanted to die. If a person is really that determined to kill themselves that should come up in the test. It is completely up to the victim if they want to live or die.
Some people think that it is immoral to euthanise someone. Do you not put animals to sleep when they are in pain do you not turn someone’s life support off when they can’t breathe by themselves anymore. I don’t hear anyone call that immoral. If you want someone to live in pain 24/7 then in mine and many others eyes that is wicked and cruel.
In conclusion euthanasia should be legal in Australia because it is up to the person if they want to end their life or not. It is no body’s choice but the person who is willing to go ahead with it. People are suffering and no one is doing anything about
