I have terminal cancer? Then let me just rest in peace!

Someone who is terminally ill can in many circumstances be allowed to end their lives in order to end their suffering. Especially if someone has a mental incapacity and cannot live a life with happiness and normality would be a great example about when someone should have all the right to end his or her life. I once said that an unexamined life is not worth living for a human being. If someone has a mental condition that incapacitates him from examining life to the fullest, then he should end his life if he wants to since living a life would have no purpose. We should look at the example of John. John is mentally retarded and can barely speak and do normal things. At the age of 10, John is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He cannot really understand what is really happening to him because he does not have the mental capacity to understand what lung cancer is in the first place. His family would definitely feel compassionate towards him and some would be against killing him for his own sake. On the other hand, most people would think that this would be the perfect case to allow someone to end his life when terminally ill. I know there will always be much debate in these cases, but we should try to use our logic and by doing that we should see the truth, namely, that John is not capable of living a life worth living and therefore should be allowed to rest in peace. I am a very intelligent person and therefore I know that humans should have the right to end their lives when terminally ill because it would be the moral and the right thing to do.
