I can help you but why should it not be legal to help someone who is ill? You need to narrow this down. Right now it is too broad. The word ill can mean many things. For instance, I could have the common cold. Does that make me ill? What type of ailment is it?

You need to narrow this down. Why should it be illegal to help a person who is ill? Ask your self, what are my three reason it should be illegal.

DoodleTech is right, you need to have more reasons in order to build a thesis and your paper. A good thesis will tell you where your paper is going, so saying "I believe that euthanasia should be illegal" isn't considered a good thesis. Saying "I believe that euthanasia should be made illegal because of x, y, and z" is a much better option. Then your next paragraph can be about x, then y, then z.  Remember point of view as well in the thesis, because if you aren't meant to be doing an opinion piece, you want to keep first person OUT OF THE THESIS. The more support you have for a thesis, the better your paper will be, and the easier it will be to write.
