Euthanasia is a method whereby anyone with a chronic illness or who is suffering

any situation that causes him or her extreme physical suffering can achieve a

painless death.

Euthanasia is a voluntary medical procedure, which is to help dying patients

suffering chronic or terminal illnesses that worsen significantly their quality of life.

Euthanasia is not permitted in Spain legally. Its practice is liable to imprisonment.

However, in Spain there have been numerous cases of euthanasia. But perhaps

the best known is that of Ramon Sampedro, a Galician who was paralyzed for 25

years after an unfortunate accident and he was condemned for life. It was the first

person to ask for euthanasia in Spain by legal means.

In my opinion, I think that euthanasia is a dignified solution for people

suffering a terminal illness and pain, despite what different religions can think about

it. So, I think it should be legalized at least in our country.
