Answer 1

Difference between euthanasia and physician assisted suicide.

Physician assisted suicide.

In this process physician does not actively take part.He prescribed the drug but he does not administer the lethal medication.In this patient will administer the medication themselves.

Euthanasia.

In this process physician actively takes part by administering the lethal medication themselves.

2)I agree with the concept of euthanasia because if a person is terribly ill and does not have any treatment which will permanently cure the illness then the patient have the right to die because we may say it is alright but the patient is the one who suffers from.it.He loses his independence and have to depend on others for daily activities and he suffers so much health related complications due to his condition.In my opinion it is necessary to give the choice of life and death to the patient.
