What are the advatages of euthanasia?

In: Health, Euthanasia [Edit categories]

Answer:

Euthanasia can be used in order to minimize pain and suffering in terminally ill patients. So rather than have a person who has 3 or 4 months left to live endure suffering, pain, anguish, etc., mercy killing can be used to give this person a quick end to a miserable existence.
