    Euthanasia is the deliberate act of putting an end to a patient’s life for the purpose of ending the patients suffering. But can it ever be right to kill patients‚ even with the intent to ease suffering? To kill patients‚ even with the intent to ease suffering‚ is considered homicide. Over the past years euthanasia has been defeated and become illegal in every country besides Netherland and Belgium. I am afraid that if euthanasia could have been legalised in those two countries‚ it’s a matter of

    What is euthanasia? Euthanasia is a medicinal action used to relieve pain bearing‚ terminally ill patients in a peaceful way. In fact‚ in Greek‚ euthanasia means “good death.” Who wouldn’t want a harmonious death opposed to the unbearable painful death their illness would cause? It seems‚ from my point of view‚ inhumane to argue on this question. Euthanasia is categorized in different ways‚ which include voluntary and involuntary‚ and is further divided into active or passive variants. Voluntary
