In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and instruments are being developed every day to extend(延長(zhǎng)) life.

They say that people should be allowed to die with dignity(尊嚴(yán)) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better.
