Should euthanasia be legalised?

Euthanasia, also known as ‘mercy killing’, is the act of purposely making or helping someone who is terminally ill die instead of letting nature takes its course. Life is precious and each and everyone of us is unique so we should not let other people decide when to end our lives. Hence in view of that, euthanasia should not be legalised.

People, in most cases like families of the terminally ill patient says it is because they have a terminal illness and constantly live in excessive and chronic pain.
