What is a good thesis statement for an essay on mercy killing?

To write a good thesis statement, you must first know what
it is you want to argue in your essay.  You should then state your main argument clearly
and concisely.  There are a number of ways that a person could go in an essay on mercy
killing.  Here are a few possible thesis
statements:


  • Although it may seem preferable for
    a person to die, life is a precious gift and we should never take it away from a person
    just because they are suffering.

  • Although mercy killing
    can be morally acceptable at times, making it legal would put too much pressure on
    elderly people to accept euthanasia so as not to be a financial or emotional
    burden.

  • Because the basis of human dignity is choice and
    free will, people must have the right to choose when to end their own
    lives.
