Social Issue...Euthanasia

Euthanasia is the practice/decision that someone takes to end someone's life; someone who is suffering and is in such a terrible health related situation that the best solution to relief that person from his/her pain would be to give them some rest, by taking their pain/life away... Here in the United States, euthanasia is a legal procedure that can be done only by doctors to patients who are in a terrible situation and the only way to give them peace would be throughout death. However, in other countries, such as Panama and Latin America in general, this practice is illegal or not chosen unless there is anything else that they can do, and unmoral because they prefer to try to save the person's life and save them or even keep them alive until they die by natural death. In some countries, if a doctor commits euthanasia to one of his patients, even with the patient's will to die, the doctor could go to jail and pay a fee even if it was the best medical decision to take. I think that people/doctors should have the right to take someone's life if there is nothing else a doctor can do to save that person's life because by taking their life away, they also take the huge amount of pain that that person is suffering because of his/her medical situation and is a way to give them peace and eternal rest. Sadly in some countries this is forbidden mainly because of religion, which plays a big role in Latin American countries and controls people's mentality and common sense through the bible and morals. I am a religious guy, but I still think that euthanasia...and even abortion...should be legalized in lots of countries because even if it is not legal/morally accepted, people suffer because of this and have a painful death. I chose to talk about this issue because my great aunt is dying from stomach cancer and other issues and there is nothing the doctors can do in order to save her, and yet she is still alive, in a tremendous amount of pain, and begging to die in order to stop the suffering that she is going through, but sadly, there is no way that she can die peacefully and she is waiting until God has mercy and takes her life away.
