In the United States, voluntary euthanasia should be legal for anyone who wants it.

"In fact, with this definition, it's technically allowing someone to commit suicide legally. A. Okay seems reasonable but I don't so far understand how this contributes to your case." Therefore, you're agreeing that this is suicide! I believe this is wrong, as this is a rejection of the importance and value of human life. People who support euthanasia often say that it is already considered permissible to take human life under some circumstances such as self defense - but they miss the point that when one kills for self defense they are saving innocent life - either their own or someone else's. With euthanasia no one's life is being saved - life is only taken. "A. Keep in mind legalization of both these things actually decreased illegal possession of them." But it increases usage "A. This is a kind of lofty claim, do you have evidence that people who want to die refrained from it just because euthanasia was illegal?" Yes, many people would like to opt for it, but it isn't available. Therefore, it encourages people to deal with it and fight on. "A. Understanding symbolism is actually something I am pretty good at, however I can not see the symbolism in this and how it helps your case. This is kind of convoluted. Since one character is really rich and one seems to put hard work and seems to be content enough." I'll explain the symbolism. The rich kid, in this case, is someone who lives in a world where euthanasia is offered. Since it's an easy way out, the rich kid would opt for it. As for the poor boy, he lives in a world where he can't simply walk in and ask to be euthanized. He has to deal with his problem, in this case, by studying. "A. Why force people to hold onto a life they find depressing? In any case, there is still an easy way out, it is suicide, with a knife, or a gun, or a drug overdose. The U.S has pretty high suicide rates, I just don't understand how people are being forced to hold on. But to many people, as I stated in the last round, euthanasia is just a more pleasant option of death for them, so why not allow it? There is nothing forcing people to hold on as it is." It teaches people to solve their problem, instead of giving up. Would you like a society where people rather give up than facing their problems? "A. As many people already do as it is." Many people have given up, and chose suicide. However, many people are afraid of pulling the trigger, and choose to face their problem, and ended up solving it. "A. . No, because under my definition, there has to be written consent, and some one has to pay for it, so no." First off, I can sign a consent on impulse, too. Paying for it wouldn't be a problem either, if I'm gonna choose death anyways. "A. I am curious, how exactly this child would pay for this?" Since you're referring from kids, this would be no difference from children running away from home. They'd use their parents' money. In fact, talking about money, if euthanasia would be legalized, there will be competitors. People will fight and fight to offer cheaper solutions to opt out. I said thanks, because you praised me. "A. How the hell does this mean euthanasia should be illegal." Because people can make impulsive and bad decisions. Euthanasia is one decision you can't overturn. "A. Well you said the mother in your made up scenario only realized the happiness her life brought her at death. You said: "Little did you know, your life has brought you way more happiness than anything." I'm saying that the grandmother opted for euthanasia, because she deemed herself a burden, but little did she know, her life has brought much happiness to her family, happiness that meant way more than money. "A. Well, I think he is probably legally incompetent, meaning he would not be able to." Aha, you said legally incompetent. Then wouldn't that be against your argument, since you stated ANYONE should be able to opt for it. And I already explained that he'd be able to use his parent's cash. ""Mentally disabled children will be allowed to do it because they are special." A. How would they pay for it and legally incompetent people can not sign off on medical issues." Explained above. ""Ew, working in Walmart suck. I don't want my friend to see me this way." A. If it sucks so much you probably won't be able to pay for euthanasia anyways. If this person wants to do this, I assume they are legally incompetent most likely, in which case they would not be able to sign off on medical issues." Ah, then if life really sucked, and they're sure that they want to opt for euthanasia, why not just rob someone and commit euthanasia? They wouldn't face any charges. In fact, you might as well go crazy for a night before visiting the clinic to get your shot. "A. Maybe not to me, but to many people it is. As I stated last round, we have evidence for it. Many organizations vying for legalization get many calls from people saying they would want to die peacefully or dignified (assisted suicide) rather than commit suicide." Sure, some, or many, might like it, but majority of the people would still view it as undignified. They may think it is dignified, but through the definition, it doesn't fit in. Pro might be using the wrong set of words.
