Do the Math!

Euthanasia consists in a doctor-assisted suicide. This is very controversial although we can analyze it using logical positivsm. First of all let's clarify what euthanasia we will be debating. A common one will be voluntary active euthanasia which consists sometimes in a quick injection or other chemical that will automatically kill you. Of course this process will be done with the content of the patient. What could be the outcomes? Analyzing the real world we can surely say that having a painful disease is not fun at all. It is very hard to hold the pain and the best way to get relieved is killing you. Therefore, if you don't want pain, then you will be applicable for euthanasia. Now let's view things with math. Maybe the treatment will cost you $20,000 yearle and you have been suffering from such disease 3 years. That means you have spent $60,000. Euthanasia will only cost you $5000, but it must be done in one payment. In the treatment you pay about $8,000 monthly, $200 daily. In about 20 days, you will have the money to pay for euthanasia saving your family a lot o money. All you have to do is math, just like the logical positivists that trust this system to really make conlusions out of observational data and can help you take the best decision available that will ensure your benefit.
