ANSWERS :

1. For me good death means free from the sufferings, pain, stress of the patient and the patient willing to die himself and according to the family wishes and patient wishes by using cultural practices, ethical standards maintenance the death of the patient is possible. In this no objections from the family and patient is important so that the patient is free of all the bonding and free of the sufferings to die.

2. Bad death is opposite to the good death. In this the patient is undergoing with pain, and sufferings, as the other form of bad death is suicide. The patient is kept alive without their willing to make them live by making possible measures and giving of maximum treatment therapies, but at the last the patient will die instead of all the effort. This is the way of torturing the patient physically, mentally, spiritually and socially.
