Euthanasia 

A research question is aroused that Should Euthanasia be considered a justly end to human discomfort or amoral criminal act? What are pros and cons of committing Euthanasia? Is it right for the civilized society to allow the human beings to die by their own will? There is hot debate on this issue as its proponents and opponents giving valid arguments for legitimacy of this is Euthanasia is the practice of painlessly serving a fatally ailing individual to pass away.      Recognized also as assisted suicide or mercy killing, euthanasia is prohibited for human beings in the United States. Normally, euthanasia is presented by deadly vaccination, using the similar drugs as those on death chain are carried out. Hippocrates, the father of contemporary medicine, avowed in 400 B.C., in the present day, doctors are still pursued by this oath. (What is Euthanasia, 2010).“I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel (What is Euthanasia, 2010).”

                   The first act, or bill, endorsed in America was written in the books in 1828 in New York.

“Like abortion, the debate about assisted suicide is a heated one. Many argue that quality of life is an issue, while those on the other side believe life must be preserved at all costs. The arguments from both sides are of both moral and legal ramifications (What is Euthanasia, 2010).”

           Supporters of assisted suicide or Euthanasia consider that the church and state have no legal authority to impede with an individualistic right to end one’s life. Opponents have another opinion about this assisted suicide that nobody but God has the power to decide when an individual is to pass away. The Hemlock Society is voiced in their faith that euthanasia should be allowable, particularly if the patient has desired for it. A number of religious scholars and medical experts are opponents regarding the matter of euthanasia on moral and political grounds (What is Euthanasia, 2010).

          Euthanasia stands for mercy killing in broader sense, taking the life of a desperately ailing person or injured person so that there may be end of his or her afflictions. Mercy-killing signifies a severe ethical dilemma. People do not all the time pass away well. Some sufferings tend people to undergo through acute physical pain in their preceding days of life, and euthanasia may look as if a sympathetic mode of terminating this pain. Other patients may appeal euthanasia to stay away from the infirmities and loss of rational talents that some syndromes cause, and several think these desires should be valued (Euthanasia | Introduction, 2010).

         But euthanasia has also contradictory influences due to the most fundamental moral values, which is that assassination is immoral. According to conventional Judeo-Christian viewpoints euthanasia is murder and a obvious infringement of the biblical directive, don’t kill yourself. From a worldly viewpoint, one of the chief objectives of law is to espouse the sacredness of human existence (Euthanasia | Introduction, 2010).

“Euthanasia is so controversial because it pits the plight of suffering, dying individuals against religious beliefs, legal tradition, and, in the case of physician-assisted death, medical ethics (Euthanasia | Introduction, 2010).”
