Euthanasia should be legalized

This essay examines whether euthanasia should be legal. The ethical debate surrounding euthanasia is quite controversial due to concerns regarding major critics like slippery slope of euthanasia, religious views, disturbed judgment during decision making etc. I argue that active voluntary euthanasia should be legalized when policies and eligibility criteria are strict enough. The argumentative essay proceeds in 5 parts first three will be me critically analyzing my arguments for legalization of euthanasia while the second two will be the major criticisms and my response to those criticisms against legalization of euthanasia. I don’t aim to settle the dispute once and for all and I can’t as well though this essay aims to provide ethical clarification of my stance.
