Where Is Euthanasia Legal?

Euthanasia or mercy killing is the act of ending the life of a person suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable disease by injecting a lethal injection or by stopping extraordinary medical treatment by a doctor.

The first country to legalize euthanasia is Netherlands in April 2002. Belgium became the second country to legalize euthanasia in September in the same year.

Switzerland allows suicide assisted by doctors and those with medical training but euthanasia is not legal in the country. US state of Oregon enacted a law that allows physician assisted suicide in November 1994. The US government has tried to challenge this law but so far has not been successful.

1. Netherlands  2. Belgium  3. Oregon in the U.S.  4. Norway  5. Sweden  6. Finland  7. Luxembourg  8. Albania  9. Holland  10. Switzerland  11. Thailand.

Oregon washington and now montana are all allowing euthanasia currently in the u.s.

Euthanasia should 100% be legal, what is wrong with a person who is terminally ill and ready to die wanting to go earlier than their illness decides. I think you need to put yourself in their shoes before saying I need to talk to a professional. There are many professionals who believe the same as me.

Euthanasia is legal wherever you want because after you die it won't matter if it was legal or illegal!!

Euthanasia should be legal in each state. No need to be terminally ill. It should available to any person who want to move pass this world with dignity.

Euthanasia is an issue of autonomy the right to choose what one does with their own body. Many people only consider the aspect of life or death but it has other consequences also. It can be a great burden on families emotionally with diseases such as Alzheimers if a person can't remember who they are or their family or even function properly by themselves what kind of life is that. This whole miracles happen crap is ridiculous some diseases are curable but others aren't and a person shouldn't have to live in agony. There is also a financial burden families end up owing hospitals thousands of dollars to keep a patient alive that didn't even want to live anymore. They would spend their last moments in pain and suffering and leave behind a huge debt for their family to pay or they could legalize euthanasia the patient could say goodbye to their family and have a dignified and timely death. I think the answer is obvious

Our rights end up where other person right's start. If you want to terminate your life before it will  happen without a doubt is your call, you are not causing any damage to anyone near you. You prefer to die instead of suffering unnecessary pain and that's what I would want if sth terrible happens to me

It may not be legal but trust me there are medical people that try it in some of these hospitals, watch your 11pm to 7am shifts...the best to you

Do you have to be obviously terminal....or can this be illness that's just become unbearable and/or mental illness?

Hello

where is mercy killing legalized and where it can be secured as a service?

It should be legal for people suffering with mental illness also, as that can also be as crippling as physical illness or terminal diseases. Freedom is rare enough as it is, who is the goverment to tell us wether we live or die?

Euthanasia is wrong and if you think the opposite than you need to talk to a professinal

Umm... I think No where. Since america made a law of not hurting or killing anybody. Other countrys maade the same laws.
