Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide?
Euthanasia, the practice of ending a life prematurely in order to end pain and suffering, is currently considered a criminal offense. Assisted suicide is currently illegal in Ireland but legal in the EU states of Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Proponents argue that assisted suicide affords terminally ill people the compassion they deserve. Opponents argue that laws legalising euthanasia are dangerous and could lead to the unnecessary deaths of senior citizens.

In theory yes they should be given enough fentanyl or other hospice drug as requested and if an overdose happens they shouldn't be resuscitated but assisted suicide is more slippery we've seen gradual over creep where it begins for terminally ill then mentally ill now canada offers to kill you before they help you and replace social welfare with the lethal injection 1/4 of Canadians believe that poverty is a good enough reason for euthanasia instead of helping their downtrodden citizens they found a progressive way to kill the poor.
