| Euthanasia |
Euthanasia
means “Good Death“. It is also called as “Mercy Killing”. An ill patient or a disabled can peacefully
end up his/her life as living means “dying each day” for them. The reason why
Euthanasia exists is because a person can live as well as die with honor. Thus
the basic reason behind Euthanasia is to ensure a less dreadful death for
someone who is ultimately going to die after a long period of torture. Every
person in this world has a right to decide when their life should end.
Doctor’s point of view towards Euthanasia
Doctors are against Euthanasia because a Doctor's job is to save a
life even though the odds are low.
Sometimes it is not clear if an ill person really wants to die.
Euthanasia should only take place if the patient really wants it or if they
completely understand about their condition.
Euthanasia and Suicide
Whereas on the other hand, in Euthanasia, a third person is involved i.e. he gives a lift in Killing of another person as they decide not to live.
Assisted
suicide is an act which deliberately helps another person to commit suicide by
providing him with the means to do so. And it is a known as ‘physician assisted
suicide’ when it's a doctor who helps the patient to end his/her life.
