The question if euthanasia is morally right posses many questions. Euthanasia is the authorised or intentional killing of a human being which is usually carried out by lethal injection. This practice is legal in countries i.e Columbia and the Netherlands it was made legal in Belgium in 2002.
The questions raised in regards to euthanasia is it right to end the life of a human being if they are experiencing excruciating pain who is terminally ill? If it is right under what circumstances is it right to do so. Would you say there is any difference in killing a person or allowing someone to die be it lawfully or not?
Euthanasia is often termed 'mercy killing' this is associated with patients who is enduring unbearable pain over a long time. If a patient refuses any form of medical treatment and dies this is not euthanasia. The word euthanasia originated from the Greeks meaning 'easy death'.
Most people go through euthanasia because of the severe pain they are going through and because the loss of dignity unable to have control over their body and life. In my opinion it should be a person right to die if they are terminally sick and suffering serious pain.
