Should doctors interfere in the natural life process and proceed to support the life of people, even if it means allowing these people to go through intolerable suffering so they can live another day? People should understand that killing is not worse then allowing to die, and active euthanasia can not be considered worse than passive euthanasia. Doctors should not keep a body alive if there is no living being inside of it. Once in a terminal condition, the patient should be disposed under a condition of understanding, where he or she can make a decision concerning the outcome of his or her life. Then, if the person wants to end his or her life, a doctor could provide help for conscious, suffering person and relieve his or her misery.

Staying at a hospital is not only a worry for the ill person, but also for those influenced by the financial load of keeping this person with terrible pain on life support. These high expenses could be decreased and made to help the relatives of the patient instead of being spent in order to continue the suffering of an individual. Richard Lamm, the ex-Governor of Colorado, stated that in the year 1990 the expenses on healthcare n the United States made up 2,400 dollars per capita, in Great Britain this figure constituted 600 dollars per capita, in Singapore- 300 dollars, and they almost the same outcome. Being the sum spent back in the year 1990, nowadays with new highly priced technology, will the future amounts of these healthcare expenses keep rising owing to keeping these people in hospitals? A solution of this problem is to support the idea of euthanasia. The legalization of euthanasia would be helpful for the pain driven people as well as for the economy of the United States.
