             Why Allow Assisted Suicide.
             Not at all times can we be contented with what is going around our lives. Terminal diseases have been the leading causes of people to wish to die. These diseases are no easier to thrive with as they inflict much pain to the patient. Also, people get disillusioned as they become sure that sooner or later they will die. Those that condemn aiding someone to die without giving nature chance to take the course are to the belief that such actions are animalistic and indeed some form of murder. However, those wish to accelerate their death their worry centers as to whether physicians would help them do it. In countries like the United States, there are a good number of people accepting this approach of taking their lives especially, when diagnosed to have terminal diseases. In a nutshell, the pain some diseases inflict to the victims facilitates their desire to die with dignity (Chapple et al. p.709). Therefore, euthanasia acts as a way of alleviating the pain besides saving the skyrocketing costs meant to keep the patient alive.
             Further, other than maintaining the life of dying person coming with a lot of costs, it causes a lot of misery and suffering to the immediate family members seeing their loved ones suffer. Whether the medical technology can save the live the loved-ones or not, the costs are too heavy to bear. The cost may be much beyond what the terminally ill individuals' family can afford. Sometimes a competent, dying person may consider it of great benefit to lessen the family and wish to cut short their lives. Life is expensive, and in the healthcare facility, there are a handful of affluent terminal patients who can afford the cost attached to it. In the case of the not-so-affluent patients, the cost remains a burden to the extended family to carry.
