For the last decade, debates concerning the ethicity of passive and active euthanasia, and mercy killings, have been very dramatic. Psychological knowledge provides a number of thought provoking views on this current controversy. This paper provides a cost-benefit analysis of psychological suffering surrounding euthanasia and chronic illness, including recommendations of how the legalization of euthanasia could alleviate a number of these issues.
