What is meant by euthanasia?

some patients, who wish to commit suicide as they choose Euthanasia, are mentally

unable to commit suicide for whom PAS (Physician assisted suicide) is legal in the

Oregon state of the United States and Netherlands.  According to religious studies, most

of the religions would say only God must give and take away the lives of human

beings, but human beings do not have the right to end their lives by themselves. The point

of this essay is to support Euthanasia as it is the right to die.

        Some people may think why Euthanasia is an issue. It is an important issue,

 because some people believe that choosing Euthanasia is not the right way to deal with

pain, because those people who choose Euthanasia are giving up temporary pain and the

pain can be treated by medicines. Nevertheless, others aspect that Euthanasia should be

permissible, because, in other countries, part from the Oregon state of the US and

Netherlands, the governments do not permit PAT or Euthanasia in which patients have to

wait until their natural death comes, but it is a criminal act if they are assisted to

committed suicide by their relatives or someone. They aspect that this policy makes

patients lives harder and more painful. However, they think that only under certain

conditions, Euthanasia should be the human right that are if a patient has a disease, which

is not possible to be recovered and brings intense pain, and the action of Euthanasia must

be harmless to others such as family and friends, and not to violate the desires of others to

live.

In July 1997, CNN’s USA today poll about Euthanasia showed that most people in the

world are in favour of Euthanasia. According to the poll, 57% of the people voted in

favour of Euthanasia, but 35% of the people voted against it in USA. The support for

Euthanasia is even bigger in Canada, Britain, Australia and Netherlands, where

percentage of people, who are in favour of Euthanasia is over 75%.

Sue Rodrigues, who was a patient in British Columbia, Canada and was assisted to

commit suicide, said, “whose life is it anyway?”. Indeed, patients should have the right to

end their lives if they really think it is better to be dead than feeling pain until their hearts

stop beating.

        Some patients give up their lives because of health problems and want to end their

lives as they commit suicide which is so-called Euthanasia. It is broadly discussed  

alongside allowing same-sex marriage and allowing woman to choose an abortion, as

being one of the three big issues in the world today. In most countries, Euthanasia is still

illegal, but the people of those countries are still in favour of it, according to the poll.
