Involuntary euthanasia is used to pronounce the murder of a person who has not agreeably commanded assistance of dying (TheFreeDictionary 2003) Voluntary euthanasia is when the individual who is murdered has demanded to be killed (Catholic News Agency 2004) Active euthanasia happens when the medical experts‚ or another person‚ consciously do something that makes the patient die. An example of active euthanasia is murdering a person by overdosing them with anaesthetics i.e. Painkillers (BBC 2014)

Euthanasia. This is a very difficult topic to discuss or write about.

For all they knew he was just a piece of brain dead meat that they had been able to keep

Chapter 6 is about dealing with ethical questions regarding active euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. The chapter begins with many examples in which suicide is clear and others where it can be puzzling. One example was about a truck driver that knew he was going to die anyway‚ so he stirs his runaway truck into a concrete abutment to avoid hitting a school bus that stopped on the roadway to discharge children.

disease to continuously impose suffering on a human? Today‚ doctors only prolong the lives of terminally ill patients whilst they still suffer until the disease kills them. Patients should have an option as to how long their suffering will last.

No person deserves to helplessly lay down in agonizing
