A complicated word

When I hear the word “euthanasia”, I don’t know exactly what to think about, it isn’t simple. To me just the word itself can bring about a range of feelings and emotions that can shift from one extreme to the other.
 

I don’t know any famous cases of euthanasia that I remember in this moment, but when I saw the movie “Mar Adentro” was the first time that I think about this controversial topic. I don’t belong at any religion, so I don’t have to be agree with no one else about it, I can have an opnion by myself.

And for myself personally, I fully believe a terminally ill person has every right to choose a physician-assisted suicide, because no one else can`t feel the pain and the inmense pain that they’re living. The problem with the governments and the modern society in general, I think, it’s that we've over-sensitized ourselves to the point that death is now a taboo subject for the most of the people. Even if we've got somebody close to us who is dying we don’t talk about it and face the inevitable. But we forget a very important think, that this persons are the only one that are living and suffering with the way that they’re living, so they have all the rights to choose if they want to live or die.
