I'm writing an essay on euthanasia but I can't find any articles from academic journals that are in favor of it

I have to talk about the pro-side, the con-side, and my side in the essay. I've already found a source to use for the con-side... Just struggling to find any good sources for the pro-side

Can you use academic journals from other countries? I thought there was a country that legally allowed euthanasia?
@Still4him Switzerland or Sweden, otherwise I definitely remember it being a European country

@Still4him the search engine I'm using (it does strictly academic journals) has articles from many countries, but I'm finding most of them are against it too.

@ForeverGrowingOld I get that but somewhere there's enough pro for a country to agree to make it legal which in turn there had to be a pro argument towards it somewhere?

Wish I had easy essays like that 🤪
Pro-side, it will stop the sick person from suffering any longer.

@SW-User the hard part is that I can't use any quotes at all. So yes the topic is pretty easy once I find sources, but I have to avoid plagiarizing while not using any quotes.
Try looking for arguments in support of abortion, not that I support either except in the most extreme cases.

@Anonymartyr an adult can consent, a child in a womb cannot.
@ForeverGrowingOld An adult can not give consent for suicide- the request itself is an indication of poor mental health which means they are not in their right minds any more than the unborn children who are aborted were. To write a last will and testament "being of sound mind" is a requirement just for the allocation of valuables after death. Is a person's life worth less than their valuables?

@Anonymartyr there's a difference between being suicidal and knowing that you would rather die than live months or years in suffering.

Can you use a news source that reports on someone with a terminal illness using it to escape their painful final days?
ForeverGrowingOld · 22-25, F
@GForG I can but I also need 2 peer reviewed journal sources so I will still need the pro-side side from one of these sources no matter what other sources I use to support my writing.

There was a case that I vaguely remember. I can’t remember any names or anything though. I think it was in a European country 🤔
I maybe wrong, I seem to remember it is Belgium that has it.
Just need 3 doctors to sign paper and its done and its easy to get.

the pro side is that your dead, the con is that your dead.... simples

Nothing by Kavorkian?
@TexChik some of Kavorkian's writings were banned in Canada if I remember correctly if so they were probably also banned in the USA and elsewhere.
