5. The suffering of relatives is lessened
6. Doctors need not fear prosecution for carrying out euthanasia
Against legalising
1. It is unnecessary due to the great advances in palliative care in hospices and by Macmillan nurses
2. If the patient is unable to communicate we do not know if they want to die
3. We cannot know how we will feel about things in the future
4. The weeks and months leading up to the death of a loved one are as important for relatives to offer each other support and starting to adapt to that person not always being there
5. There could be a slippery slope that could lead to a situation similar to the nazis, putting people to death as they saw fit, without consent
6. Mistakes might be made
