Oversigt: Eutanasi

I chose this topic because I think it's an interesting topic. It’s a serious topic with great arguments for both stances. There's a crime category named Mercy Killing. This category is for good people who gets punished for loving their nearest enough to kill them because they're suffering. That wouldn't be necessary if euthanasia were legal, but is it correct to kill a person? If there's no alternative and doctors aren't able to do more then you have to consider if a person really deserves to die in pain.
