Shouldn't a person undergoing both physical suffering and emotional disorder be given a choice to stop the suffering? A negatively conditioned patient with an entreaty to stop suffering should not be shunned only because people around him or her are not undergoing his or her version of terrible pain. Healthy people do not realize how these fatal illnesses can torture a person slowly until his or her death.

Other people who suffer are loved ones to those people who have brain damage and have stayed in a vegetable or coma-like state and have no chance for recovering. These kith and kin are put to fight against the mental disorder of the suffering loved one for they can do nothing but watch in graphic horror how life slowly leaves him or her. At times there were members of families who have hold their own and have decisions concerning what would be best for the situation.

There have been a lot of cases having deal with accomplishment of euthanasia that have proven worthy in its favor to make a new law concerning euthanasia. A case in the year 1976 concerning Karen Ann Quinlan caused many more supporting viewpoints to this concern. Karen had taken an overdose of medicine and was put to an unalterable vegetable state; it is one of many cases when was made a decision to end her life owing to a fatal illness. Evidently, with no opportunity to speak for herself, mother of Karen was the one to oppose the active treating physicians on what the result of Karen's life would be. Seeing that her child had no positive perspective, Karen's mother said that did not want her daughter to live without living. The court endorsed this decision made by the maternal parent.
