Euthanasia=Ataraxia
The act of killing someone deliberately to prevent longer suffering is totally acceptable. The real purpose of humans in this world is to prevent pain. So why suffer by no reason? Humans should always be capable of transmitting to others and mentally be conscious that what you truly want is reach pleasure. Our constant quest towards "ataraxia" or (perfect mental peace) has to be part of our natural instincts. Every single human being in this world has the right to choose what to do with their bodies. After all, they are the ones who take care and benefit or not from it. It doesnt matter if its voluntary o involuntary euthanasia; the final purpose is to release pain from someone, and that is, the final goal of life. Throughout our lives, humans seek for PLEASURE. We are in a constant journey with a single destiny which is feeling good. Through the journey, we reach by obstacles that may stop us or inspire us. These obstacles include taking moral or morally wicked decisions. You may not agree with me, but the truth is simply present before your eyes. We decide between good and bad, pain and pleasure. Many people are totally against euthanasia actions. But I ask those people: What if you are suffering from a terrible disease and the doctors definetely say that it would be better if you Rest In Peace rather than being suffering so much?? What if a beloved one tells you he cant stand the pain of his amputated right leg? Euthanasia is the most simple way of getting rid of pain and achieving that mental peace that we all desire.
