EUTHANASIA




  
       
        Euthanasia is the termination of a very sick person's life in order to relieve them of their suffering and also can be defined as the act of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reason of mercy.Euthanasia is against the law where it is illegal because it help anyone to kill themselves.There are have different types of euthanasia and there can classified as either "active" or "passive" and as either "voluntary" or "involuntary" and similar to euthanasia is "assisted suicide".


      In  active euthanasia a person directly and deliberately cause the patient death or the act taking specific steps to cause the patient death.For example doctors or health workers injecting the patient with poison.Meanwhile,in passive euthanasia they dont' directly take the patient's life,they just allow them to die.For example, if a patient requires kidney dialysis to survive and doctors disconnect the dialysis machine, the patient will presumably die fairly soon.The difference between "active" and "passive" is that in active euthanasia, something is done to end the patient's life and in passive euthanasia something is not done that would have preserved the patients' life.


       In voluntary euthanasia is occurs when the person request wants to ends his life. Involuntary euthanasia occurs when the person who dies chooses life and is killed anyway.In practice today it usually means that the patient is unconscious, unable to communicate, or is too sick and weak to be aware of what is happening or to take any action on his own behalf.Assisted suicide means that the doctor provides a patient  with means to end his own life but the doctor does not administer it.For example, if a doctor gives you injection of morphine sufficient to cause your death this is euthanasia, but if the doctors puts hypodermic needles beside your bed, explain to you what it is, and leaves, and you letter inject yourself it called assisted suicide.
        
         There is a big difference between "voluntary passive euthanasia" and "involuntary active euthanasia". In voluntary passive euthanasia a person decides for himself that medical treatment thathe is receiving is making his life more unpleasant than the disease, and that he would rather end the treatemaent and go home.Presumably he conclude s that the shorter but more comfortable life is preferable.In involuntary active euthanasia, one person decides that another person's life is no longer worth living or no longer of value and has him killed.

        While both of these things result in the person's death, they are so dramatically different that it strains the language to lump them both under the single term "euthanasia".
