　　Euthanasia， a quiet and easy death， or “rcy killing” as e call it recently has made the headlines frequently. Many people applaud it and argue that euthanasia should be legalized.

　　As is pointed out， to practise euthanasia can benefit both the patient and his family. To a terminally ill person ho is suffering excruciating pains day and night or living “like a vegetable”， to be alloed to end his life painlessly is a good release. To his family it is also a big relief nsidering the financial and emotional drain on them that having to sustain his life entails. Hoever， the legalization of euthanasia may also bring ith it problems our society has not previously faced. Is it humane， for example， that a terminally ill patient is thus caused to feel guilty for remaining alive because he does not ant to die? Is it ise that a patient is killed alive simply because of a mistaken terminal diagnosis? And is it possible that euthanasia uld be taken advantage of for so ulterior or even criminal purposes?

　　Since the legalization of euthanasia ill raise serious moral and social issues， the decision our society makes about euthanasia ill undoubtedly have trendous nsequences in society.
