Selected claim, supporting its parent
Euthanasia allows suffering patients to die with dignity.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1, children below
Choosing the time and location of one's death can allow friends and family to be there, which brings dignity to the process.
Pro claim 2, children below
Certain health conditions harm a patient's quality of life significantly. In such circumstances, some people consider putting an end to their life to be more dignified than continuing with such a reduced quality of life.
Con claim 1, children below
Legal euthanasia strips a patient of dignity by implying that their life may not be worth living.
