Explanation:
With names like Dr. Jack Kevorkian and Terri Schiavo making international headlines during the past few years, the complicated subject of euthanasia remains on everyone's mind. But when considering the plight of the terminally ill and their potential suffering, is "pulling the plug" a matter of dying with dignity or tragically playing God?

Makes sense to me
This is one of those issues where the opposition is purely moral/religion based. I can't see any reason not to let a terminally Ill person end their own life. I also see no problem giving that person the means to do so.

An Effective Argument
This argument is effective in how it addresses the other side and then refutes it using not just opinion, but statistical information that helps to prove his point. Robert Nelson is able to dismiss the other side by using Oregon as ten years of proof as to how those who are against physician assisted suicide for fears such as people being forced to end their lives involuntarily are wrong in their claims. He is taking the basis of the other side and using it to his own advantage.
