Why Euthanasia Should Be Legalized

A huge majority of the world still abhors euthanasia and is still illegal in most countries. Euthanasia should be legalised because a lot of patients (especially those just waiting to die) will be spared days, even weeks of suffering.
Patients will be given the right to a peaceful death. Doctors have even claimed that the option of willingly dying has given a moral boost to depressed patients. Each individual should be granted complete control of their lives, who are we to deny them of their right to an easy death.
Prolonging the suffering of an individual seems crueller than killing them. The pain-killers that are induced to patients are more often than not are depressants which side effects include hallucinations and sleeplessness.
