I think euthanasia should be legal, but at the same time I don't think that means that dying can't be a good process.

My grandfather was super sick a lot and there were many times where he was on life support and my mom and her family would debate on what to do, but he'd always make out of it and he was able to live by himself without being a bother at all. He ended up dying in his sleep on his couch. He smoked like a chimney since he was 13, had all kinds of diseases (maybe cancer, he had a biopsy shortly before he died and we never found out after) and I'm glad he was there after he got out of the hospital each time.

An aunt of mine died of ALS and it was really painful to watch her die over the course of a year, but at the same time knowing how much time she had allowed her to make her peace with family she had alienated.
