We must stop the spread of euthanasia and get rid of it where it is legal. My personal belief is that if someone wants to end their life they must do it themselves. If another person acts to end someone else’s life then it is an act of murder. Another act of murder is someone assisting or telling another exactly how to kill them. If people cannot act to kill themselves, then maybe they really are not ready to die. I think the idea of killing yourself is cowardly and it would be worse to include someone else in such an act.
If the voters in the United States turn down any form of euthanasia laws, then this can set a tone for the rest of the world. Other countries view the United States as a leader and we should take the lead against euthanasia. When other countries see what we are doing to stop euthanasia they may realize that what they are doing is wrong. I hope that euthanasia will gradually become illegal in countries like the Netherlands. If euthanasia laws do not exist, then they can never get out of hand and go down a dark path like the one in Germany. Our society may not be perfect but we should be able to live without fear of losing our life because someone else thinks it is our time to die. Lives lost from euthanasia, genocide or murder is wrong. If euthanasia does not stop now, then we may be looking at a dark future. Our goal should be stopping all forms of euthanasia including the elimination of where euthanasia laws currently exist.
