Euthanasia

Euthanasia simply means "Good Death!"
Yes, I meant Good Death!
Many of us does not know about the concept of Euthanasia.
"Euthanasia is a practice of Intentionally Ending one's life."
It is generally practised to be relieved from Pain and Suffering. People who are undergoing  unbearable suffering can be granted death only after the consent of the court.
Euthanasia can also be called "Assisted Suicide" .
Euthanasia are of three types, namely Voluntary Euthanasia, Non-Voluntary Euthanasia and Involuntary Euthanasia.
Voluntary Euthanasia includes a person granted death with his consent. Non-Voluntary Euthanasia includes death of that person without his consent. Involuntary Euthanasia is death of a person against his consent, which can also be termed as Murder.
Voluntary Euthanasia is legal in some countries while involuntary Euthanasia is completely banned and illegal in all the countries.
There is a huge debate on making Voluntary Euthanasia legal. Supporters of this argument keep their point as everyone has the right to death while non-supporters reject it on moral grounds.
In my view, Euthanasia should be legalized. Strict rules should be followed so that people don't take wrong advantage of this.
The pain that old people suffer from can only be realized when we experience it. The sufferings they go through, the pain they bear, hundreds of tablets, bed rest for whole life. These things are not easy to experience!

  1. What is the point of keeping a person alive against their will when they are suffering unbearably and have no prospect of any recovery? Why should they not die peacefully at a time of their own choosing? Prolonged suffering achieves nothing...
