Issue-Euthanasia

Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who practices medicine in the state of Michigan, attends "medicides," a term Kevorkian uses for doctor-assisted suicides. In these medicides, which he has been attending since 1990, Dr. Kevorkian provided patients with the means to commit suicide. Many of the patients that Dr. Kevorkian has assisted with medicides are terminally ill. Many are in extreme pain. In early 1992, the state of Michigan passed a law forbidding assisted suicides. This law was aimed specifically at Dr. Kevorkian. Under the current law, Dr. Kevorkian could be convicted of murder.
I think I would agree with Dr. Kevorkian. First of all, I think everyone has the right to die or not, and the goverment could not invade it. Second, as long as the doctor are allowed to provide "medicides" by petients, and they had sighed the contract before operating on the patient. I know most of people cannot accept euthanasia, but I think it is a way to end patient's pain if the patient is unable to rescue. However, goverment should strictly limits euthanasia, or there will appear a lot of problems. In addition, the donation of organs is one of the positive aspects of medicides. If the patient's organs are healthy and the patient agrees to donate his/her organs that will save other people lives. Actually, we all should treasure ourselves life because this is a gift from God and your moyher. Nevertheless, if you're going to die, and you want to choose a way which could help you to end your pain and reduce the burden on your family. Why not to choose euthanasia?
