Have you ever heard about death legislation? in some circumstances  death is legalize. well just read this... enjoy... :)

Legislation of death is commonly takes for the response of terminal illness, like what Silk and Greenberg wrote in their article. However, it also takes for the punishment of dead murderer as what Royko discussed in his article. The question is, is it deserve for a person or groups to decide who have right to die? I do against those kinds of legislation of death. Everyone has their right to life and struggle it. Not even family or physicians can intervene the right to life.
Once, everyone have right to life. It has stated as the foundation of the international human right. As we can see in some articles above that people who suffered by terminal illness keep struggled for medical care to prolong their life no matter the risk. This is what naturally people have tobdo. Related to that case, some reasons to legalize death caused by bill of medical treatment and hopeless of recovery is irrational. As long as the patient has the desire to continue the medical treatment and fight the disease, all related party should be ready to support.
 Another case for the dead punishment of murderer, I do agree that it should be opposed. Even they did a murdering crime, they still have right to life, they are also still have family that expecting for their existence. If we gave the death punishment to a murderer, then which side that distinguish us with the murderers? Although using more civilize way rather than what the murderer did to the victim, it just causes another family lost their family member and their happiness. There must be more civilized punishment to make them redeem what they have done. 
Second, Family should not intervene in deciding the right to die. For some cases like terminal illness, it cannot be receive that when family agree to stop the medical treatment therefore the patient should stop all the treatment such as medicine and medical device to support their life. If the problem is money, it also cannot be received. Money is something that we can look for, but family, it could not be replaced. To keep the members of family among us must be worth more than anything. What family has to do is to give support to the patient whether material or immaterial.
From physician point of view, when a disease has no hope to be recovered, it is not a wise way to directly decide the patient should die or not. There is still any hope of miracle because we have God. There are also some evident that even thousand years in comma, patient still have possibility to waken up. As wrote by BBC, a man named Jan Grzebski, have woken up after 19 years coma. He was hit by the train accidentally. Even people around them do not convince that he would wake up, but he proved that he wakes up after all. It is because he has great intention for his live and his family.
Death and live was something that must be happened in life. However, to decide someone has right to die or not is not people’s role. What people can do is struggle for life and creates meaningful life whether for themselves or others.
