Yes, Euthanasia should be legal.
I watched my boyfriend's father die an incredibly painful death. He had sarcoma that eventually affected his whole body. He had tumors in his stomach and bowels that kept him from being able to eat more than a bite of food for a month prior to his passing. He was on oxycontin and that didn't even really help to reduce the pain. I know that he didn't want his children to see him that way. His death was not a peaceful one either; he didn't just close his eyes and pass on. I'll spare the gory details but my poor boyfriend had to watch his father die in agony and I know it will haunt him forever.
His father had known for 2 years that he was terminally ill. If he wanted to go peacefully by using euthanasia, I would've fully supported his decision. Nobody should have to live their last few weeks or moments of life in terrible pain.
