The "passive" form of euthanasia was first deemed legal by the New Jersey State Supreme Court in 1976 In re Quinlan . In the Quinlan case, the court allowed a competent patient to terminate the use of life- sustaining medical machines to prolong life. Since New Jersey's decision, all fifty states have enacted similar statutes which contain living will provisions.

Anti-active euthanasia proponents feel that it is the duty of physicians to help and heal patients as opposed to hastening their exit from this world. They also fear that the legalization of doctor-assisted suicide may be abused by doctors who do not feel that there is any hope for the patient and counsel them to terminate their life. ...

- ... to work under close supervision. These statistics found in Harper's articles support the idea that women would be better off being married and keeping a home rather than going out into the high-powered world.

- 9076: Euthanasia
- ... culture was universal and permanent. There was one set of beliefs, ideals, and norms, and these were the standard for all human beings in all places and all times. We, however, live in the modern world. Our ethics are not an inheritance of the past, completed and ready for universal application. We are in the situation of having to form our own beliefs and meanings of life. This struggle is now ... This is what scares the opponent.

Therefore, the first step should not be taken. I disagree with this notion and believe that there would hardly be any abuse of the new law. I have formed three reasons why euthanasia ought to be legal. First, history tells us that mercy killers have generally been let off easy in court. In the case of Hans Florian, a ...
