This paper critically reviews the story of Mathilde exercising her right to die and discusses the arguments for and against euthanasia. The anti-euthanasia arguments include obligations to society, religious practices, violation of law, and disrespect for sacred life. Pro-euthanasia arguments include the right to die, freedom of privacy, and freeing up scarce health resources. The paper concludes that euthanasia should be reconsidered in countries where it is banned.
