Everyone makes mistakes, and a doctor might make a mistake and make a wrong diagnosis. Miracles do happen, and many people do recover from illnesses when they think they won’t. Therefore, although euthanasia may end a person’s suffering quicker, patients should let time run its course because miracles do happen.

Even though the patient is going through a constant amount of pain there is always different options including palliative care. According to Christian Nordqvist, she stated, “It seeks to provide relief from pain and uncomfortable symptoms while integrating psychological and spiritual features of patient care. Palliative care strives to offer a support system to help patients live their remaining time as actively as they can and to help families bereave and deal with the illness of a loved one” (Nordqvist). Family and friends want to spend their last minutes with their loved one in a place where they would have wanted to be, not sitting in a hospital bed.
