In this sense, the definition of euthanasia is the deliberate ending of someone's life for compassionate reasons.]]> 2021-09-08 22:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/martingajardoc17/dacmvcclqsc9xt3r/wish/1726189308 Initial summary of some arguments martingajardoc17 https://padlet.com/martingajardoc17/dacmvcclqsc9xt3r/wish/1726192776  Ethical arguments in favor are:

 - An individual's right to direct their own life.
 - Human beings should have the right to be able to decide when and how they die (self-determination).
 - Euthanasia enables a person to die with dignity and in control of their situation.

 Political arguments in favor would be:

 - Death is a private matter and the state should not interfere with the individual's right to die.

 Numerical argument in favor would be:

 - It is expensive to keep people alive when there is no cure for their illness.  Euthanasia would release precious resources to treat people who could live.
