Should mercy killing be legalised or not? It is a controversial issue all the time. The true meaning of mercy killing is "good death". It is a way to end the life of the patient by injecting deadly drugs or stop curing patient who suffer from uncureable disease. Personally, I think that everyone has no right to end other's life unless the person say "yes" themselves.
Wang Xiao - Ming who suffered brain damage in a car accident in 1963 and became a well known household name in Taiwan. Her parents took care of him until they die. Afterward, her younger sister instead of their parents to look after her. It is a heavy burden for a family to care for a patient more than 40 years. Her mother had ever expressed to Present that grant mercy killing for Wan Xiao-Ming. However, her father did not agree to do so because she is his loved daughter and he do think that she has "feeling" all the time.
Nevertheless, some people will request for mercy killing. That is based on the following reasons. First, they are afraid of thier family with havey burden on economy or spirit. Second, they do not want the doctor using senseless treatment to support their life. They hope that they can die cerenely.
In fact, the poor people easily tend to accept mercy killing since they are unable to bear the huge medical fee. Besides, they even may think that the cost of a dead man is lower than a lived one. To sum up, it is difficult to say mercy killing is right or wrong.
