Selected claim, supporting its parent
People may choose euthanasia if they feel like a burden to those around them.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1
End-of-life care can be incredibly expensive, and a person's family may have to bear the brunt of this cost.
Pro claim 2
The emotional toll of caring for someone who is terminally ill is significant. This is unlikely to go unnoticed by the terminally ill person themselves.
Con claim 1
It is legitimate for someone to choose to undergo euthanasia if they want to relieve the burden on others.
