              A person who no longer feels they have a good quality of life should have the right to end their life if they want. When you think about it, this right should be given to all. The life was given to them. It’s that individuals’ property, and they should be able to do whatever they want with it.  It should be their right to take it away or keep it if they want to or not. I’ll explain a scenario to get my point across. A soldier that is injured in battle is brought into a military hospital. His condition is so bad, that he’s brought to a hospital in his home country. The soldier has gotten half of his arms blown off, and both of his legs blown off. The soldier is blind after his accident, and has lost his hearing in both of his ears. The soldier spends time in the hospital, doing nothing, simply laying there. He knows nothing of the world outside of his mind. All he can tell is that it seems like he’s healing somewhat because his pain level is decreasing. The man realizes that this is how he will remain. Alone and wishing he knew what was going on around. Wishing that he had the life he did before he entered the war. Realizing that he was going to spend the rest of life in critical care, in complete darkness, the soldier begins to bang his head against the wall in Morse code. He spells out the words “Kill me” over and over again. The medical professionals in charge of him recognize this, but are not sure what they should do. Since the soldier does not technically have the right to take himself out of care and take his own life, the doctors cannot really do anything to help and appease to the man’s wishes. If the soldier had the right, then the doctors without question would let the man die, according to his obvious wishes. It is scenarios like this that should prove that a person who no longer feels they have a good quality of life should have the right to end their life if they want. In certain cases and to certain people, dying would be a better choice than continuing to live.
