范文：

Euthanasia， a quiet and easy death， or mercy killing as we 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 who is suffering excruciating pains day and night or living like a vegetable ， to be allowed to end his life painlessly is a good release. To his family it is also a big relief considering the financial and emotional drain on them that having to sustain his life entails. However， the legalization of euthanasia may also bring with 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 want to die? Is it wise that a patient is killed alive simply because of a mistaken terminal diagnosis? And is it possible that euthanasia could be taken advantage of for some ulterior or even criminal purposes?

Since the legalization of euthanasia will raise serious moral and social issues， the decision our society makes about euthanasia will undoubtedly have tremendous consequences in society.

安乐死，一个安静而轻松的死亡或安乐死，我们称之为最近所作的头条。许多人拍手叫好，认为安乐死应该合法化。

据指出，安乐死可以造福于病人和他的家人。一个身患绝症的人谁是痛苦难以忍受的痛苦的白天和黑夜或蔬菜一样的生活，可以结束自己的生命是一个很好的无痛释放。他的家庭也是一个很大的救济考虑经济和情感上的消耗，以维持他的生活需要。然而，安乐死的合法化也会带来问题，我们的社会有没有遇到过。例如，它是人性化的，，，一个身患绝症的病人，因为他不想死去，造成剩余活着感到内疚？这是明智的，病人是活杀只是因为一个错误的终端诊断？有可能，安乐死可以利用一些别有用心的甚至是犯罪的目的？

由于安乐死合法化，会带来严重的道德和社会问题，决定了我们的社会所作出的关于安乐死无疑会对社会产生巨大影响。
