The right to die

When looking at the pieces in regards to euthanasia particularly the piece about Thailand, has lead me to come to the conclusion that when making decisions about the suffering of another person and prolonging their life, the decision should solely be based upon medical facts. These decisions should not be make on the base of certain religious beliefs but rather the medical facts of the case. The decision to end a life is possibly the hardest decision that one could make but it should not be made based of what a certain religion dictates but rather the quality of like that one will lead. Recently in the news the story of Brittany Maynard has become a hot topic of discussion. She received the news that she was terminally ill and would have less than four month to live, she decided to enjoy her live and do what she wanted, in the end being euthanized. She sadly is no longer with us but I bring up this point to show that she took her family into account and the quality of life that she would live and the affects it would have on her family. When it comes down to matters of life and death I personally feel that religious beliefs should not become the number one priority, the weel being and quality of life of that person should. If that person is going to suffer and not have a good life I feel that they should have the right to end their own life.
