I. INTRODUCTION
“Dying can be a peaceful event or a great agony when it is inappropriately sustained by life support.” – Roger Bone.
Every individual has the right to fully enjoy and appreciate the fruits of his or her labors. There are times, however, when a person is willing to use an unnatural method to die. Suicide via a means other than natural causes is very rare. When a person chooses to take his or her own life, we call it "suicide." However, when someone takes his or her own life at the request of another person, it is called "euthanasia" or "mercy killing." Euthanasia is a euthanasia when the patient is given a calm and painless death in order to stop their suffering. It might be referred to as a dignified death.
It boils down to deciding whether or not you want to put yourself in the shoes of others. It is based on the belief that a man should be able to spend his life in accordance with his own desires. Most often, euthanasia is used to end the lives of people who are nearing the end of their lives or who are on the verge of being handicapped and have no desire to live out the time they have left. A person who is terminally ill or severely disabled should have the option of choosing whether or not to live. The goal is to allow the deceased to die in peace and to put an end to their suffering and agony. Relieving pain and suffering is in the best interest of the patient. The ethics, morals, and personal views of individuals are at the heart of the debate over euthanasia.
