Content: In democratic societies, people enjoy various rights and freedoms, and the right to choose life or death should be one of the freedoms guaranteed by laws in democratic societies. Death should therefore be an individual choice rather than a choice made by other people. This argument appears to support voluntary euthanasia where patients give consent. Dignity in death
In many cases, euthanasia is performed to ease suffering and ensure that the patient dies the least painless death. This is performed to maintain dignity even when a person is dying. Most people who are dying, even those opposed to euthanasia, would want to die in dignity. This can be achieved through allowing euthanasia, as explained by proponents of this argument. Euthanasia uses the most humane and painless method of causing death, and allows recipients to die in dignity. Prolonging natural life
There are various groups which support euthanasia, which argue that humans should not prolong life when it is clear that one’s life is about to end. They argue that the use of life-support and other machines and medication only serve to cause further pain to a dying person, since their life is usually almost over (World Faith Organization, 2010).
