EUTHANASIA
Euthanasia is the act of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals in relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. In other word euthanasia is a practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering. In short is a termination of life by a doctor at the request of a patient.

There are three types of euthanasia, voluntary euthanasia, involuntary euthanasia and non-voluntary euthanasia.Euthanasia conducted with the consent of the patient is termed voluntary euthanasia,when the patient brings about his or her own death with the assistance of a physician, the term assisted suicide is often used instead.Euthanasia conducted where the consent of the patient is unavailable is termed non-voluntary euthanasia. Examples include child euthanasia.Euthanasia conducted against the will of the patient is termed involuntary euthanasia.http://www.euthanasia.com/definitions

Voluntary, non-voluntary and involuntary euthanasia can all be further divided into passive or active variants.Passive euthanasia entails the withholding of common treatments, such as antibiotics, necessary for the continuance of life.Active euthanasia entails the use of lethal substances or forces to kill and is the most controversial means

In my opinion I’m against the point of legalizing of euthanasia because there will be always opportunity for miracles, natural or supernatural. We need to think of potential for abuse if mercy killing becomes legal, what if a person stand a chance to inherit a million dollars when aunt dies? Will he not find it tempting to make a decision of the direction of claiming a lethal injection to aunt? If euthanasia is legalized many people will make wrong decision. It is feared that unscrupulous family members or doctors will persuade the person in question to take their life against their will.[]
