• The right to die is a personal decision that I believe a person has the right to make for themselves. Hell, everyone has the right to kill themselves without being terminally ill so why should it stop there? However, there is one issue that most people don’t ever acknowledge and it has to do with life insurance. Most life insurance policies do not cover suicide. So when someone chooses to leave the world where they are already terminally ill, they make a selfish choice to leave their baggage behind for their family and loved ones to deal with. I know because my mother did just that. She was dying from kidney cancer at the age of 50. We had already prepared for her unavoidable death and had relied heavily on her life insurance to pay for it. However, when she took her own life it was all null and void and 5 years later, we are still paying for it as well as her medical bills and past debt. So even though a person young or old has the right to take their own life, there are additional ethical issues that must be taken into account.

• I think you over looked a very important part of the equation. Also, you probably don’t understand how bad life can get. For one, we all die, so why force them to continue living a life of hell, pain, and loneliness. Life can get very bad, and once you hit this point it leaves permanent scars. There is a point of no return for people sometimes, and like animals, the only possible option for them is to go on to the next life, or whatever comes next when you die. death is clearly not the ultimate ultimatum. the universe is just to big for this to be the case. to say so is to say that we are independent of the universe. are we not made of the same material as everything else in existence? is anything in this universe permanent? no, everything changes or dies, but this always leads to new creations, and it should be no different when a human dies. why force these people to continue if they are in a hell – it is almost cruel and unusually punishment, like forcing a horse to go on with only two legs

• That last line is the best part. The rest is, well, pretty much pure propaganda. The last line is more of an “I toldja so.” As for Debate value, it depends on the type of debate. For a TV commercial, it’s a pretty good anti-euthanasia piece. If you’re a College Senior debating in Humanities for a Rhodes’ Scholarship then it needs “some” work.

• I think that it would be way better if you addressed other opinions rather than just making assertions and statements which back up the apparent wrongness of euthanasia.
