Euthanasia - our right to choose the time to die



This was an interesting video because it gives the argument(s) for why voluntary euthanasia should be a right and legalized. The speaker has experienced the pain of losing someone, and she expresses how difficult it was losing her family member in such a painful way. The video discusses since we all have the right to life, we should all have the right to decide our time to die, and when/how we choose to do it. I think this video obviously shows how hard it is for family members to watch loved one's live in pain and then to suffer, and why it would morally and emotionally make sense to legalize euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. After watching the pro's of legalizing these practices, it would be interesting to find a video where someone discussed the con's of the practices (perhaps telling a personal experience where euthanasia was performed and had a negative outcome).
