for a patient. The economics of this system could be very opento cost effective mercy killings.It may seem an over dramatic analogy, but Dr. Death or Jack Kevorkian, in histestimony at his trial for murdering a man, said that what he did provided a final solutionfor his patient. Adolf Hitler also believed in providing a final solution. Euthanasia isabused and will be further abused if it is legalized more. In the Netherlands, it is practicedpublicly. Abuses arise when a patient is wealthy and an inheritance is at stake, when thedoctor has made mistakes in diagnosis and treatment and hopes to avoid detection, orwhen insurance coverage for treatment costs is about to expire. There is no question that by letting a suffering patient die on request, we shorten theperiod of suffering. I must admit that I wouldnt want to endure prolonged suffering andpain. However, we must not give into the euthanasia quick fix, or thousands of people,such as the disabled, the poor, the elderly, and the young, will be in great danger. Euthanasia is a type of mercy killing which devastates many humans....
