Euthanasia is also known as mercy killing or assisted suicide or doctor assisted termindor of life. It is an act of homocide that is usually carried out to end the life of a who is suffering from extreme, incurable pain or illness. In individual who is tormented by a terminal illness may wish to and his/her own life. but does not have the ability to do it without any help. He/She may request assistance from another person. This is illegal in most, but not all countries of the world. Some locals allow it, as long as strict guidlines are followed and procedure is conducted by a medical proffessional, on the appeal of the patient or where the patient himself is not in position to give a valid consent on the application of his guardian.
There are two types of euthanasia- Active and Passive. Active euthanasia involves direct action on the part of a physician to ensure the death of a patient. There are a number of different ways in which this can be done, though the most commonly is overdose of medication that is used to reduce pain. By using this type of method, active euthanasia usually involve no pain for a person, and simply shuts the person physiological system down as he/she sleeps. Passive Euthanasia is withdrawal of life supporting system of terminally ill patient there by leaving it to the nature.
From all these studies, some questions arise:
- IS mercy killing right?
I just want to give the answer of this question- if he/she was wanted to die and there was nothing else Docters could do for him or her then 'YES'. I would not want these people to be in no more pain.
