Serious doubts

Euthanasia and assisted suicide​

Assisted suicide is the act of deliberately assisting another person to kill themselves
Both euthanasia and assisted suicide are illegal

Assisted suicide​

Assisted suicide is illegal under the terms of the Suicide Act (1961) and is punishable by up to 14 years' imprisonment. Trying to kill yourself is not a criminal act.

Euthanasia​

Depending on the circumstances, euthanasia is regarded as either manslaughter or murder. The maximum penalty is life imprisonment.

Euthanasia is a deeply debated topic, and exists in several forms. Voluntary euthanasia involves a person choosing to end their life; non-voluntary occurs when someone cannot consent (like being in a coma), and a decision is made based on their prior wishes; involuntary euthanasia happens when a person could consent but isn’t given the choice. Euthanasia can be done actively (like a lethal injection) or passively (withdrawing life-support).

The map below shows the legality of euthanasia globally.

Many believe involuntary euthanasia and assisted suicide should remain illegal, as they open doors to abuse, pressure on vulnerable people, and exploitation for financial gain. But voluntary and some non-voluntary euthanasia should be legalised for terminally ill patients experiencing unbearable suffering with no cure—allowing them a peaceful, dignified end.

There are several arguments against euthanasia:
• Religious: life is sacred and only God chooses when it ends.
• Slippery slope: fears that allowing voluntary euthanasia could lead to non-voluntary or involuntary killing.
• Medical ethics: doctors are obligated to preserve life, and legal euthanasia could erode trust.
• Alternatives: advanced palliative care may remove the need for euthanasia.

Supporters argue from ethics and pragmatism. Ethically, people should have autonomy over their body and death. Pragmatically, end-of-life practices like DNAR orders and palliative sedation already resemble forms of euthanasia, so regulating it would bring transparency.

In the end, assisted suicide/euthanasia being considered as murder or not centres on dignity, suffering, autonomy, and the responsibility of both families and medical professionals to protect, yet also respect, the wishes of those at the end of their lives.
 

Honestly, the question collapses on itself. If someone hires a person to kill them, one ends up dead and the other ends up in prison — both lose in different ways.

We barely get one life, and even that one is unpredictable. so it’s better to value it..
