Euthanasia is defined as "a good death brought about by a doctor providing drugs or an injection to bring a peaceful end to the dying process.  When patients are faced with terminal illnesses and have come to the end of the road, often this time is filled with pain and suffering. Many terminally ill patients share the desire to be free of pain and to bring an end to their brutal suffering however all states in America except Washington, Oregon, Vermont, and Montana have banned these patients' only way of a painless solution. The right to live should not be in the hands of the government and rather in the hands of those actually involved within the outcome. Either the ban on euthanasia should be lifted or everyone should have to suffer and die a painful death. The choice to live or die is a personal decision and the government has no right to be the ultimate decider. When a normal death occurs, there is no intervention of the government within the process of death or planning after death. Yet the government decides that they should get involved when a patient wants a physician-assisted suicide. These entrances to death are safe and put the patient at ease during their time of excruciating pain. Physician-assisted suicide is only requested when there is nothing medical physicians can do to improve their predicament and medicine is unable to maintain pain level. The family does not oppose rather they push for this outcome in order to relieve the pain of their loved ones. This personal decision should not be left to governments, judges, or legislators. The government has no involvement in the process and should not hinder the process as it does not have any effect on them emotionally and in real life. Providing drugs for assisted suicide cost from thirty-five to forty-five dollars. This is significantly cheaper than providing medical care. Life-support paid by healthcare would cost the government more money than allowing for patients' wis
