Persuasive Speech On Euthanasia

Mercy killing has been in the moral code of humankind since the genesis of society. From the Coup de grâce applied to wounded animals by the Native Americans, to the Seppuku Japanese samurai practiced, dying with dignity has been prioritized over a painful death. If there's something history has proved, it's that compassion is a fundamental value. Isn't euthanasia an act of compassion? Euthanasia is a choice of good life, rather than a choice of death.

What would you prefer, a good but slightly shorter life, or a longer life full of hospitals and machines? What should the quality of our lives measured in, the years we lived or how we lived them? By choosing euthanasia, patients are not choosing death itself, as contradictory as it may seem.
