Euthanasia

Euthanasia is the termination of the life of a person in order to relieve from the suffering. Euthanasia has many legal and ethical issues because it has some moral rights and practical issues.

Legal issue related to euthanasia:

euthanasia is killing someone rather than letting them die. The patient who doesn't wish to live because of their sickness is killed by mercy killing either by removing extraordinary support or giving a lethal injection is not accepted by law. Every patient has the right to die on their own. No one has the authority to stop the breath of a patient.

Ethical issue related to euthanasia:

Health care providers are in the state of choosing between life and death issue. One group support the euthanasia that the patient suffering unnecessarily due to prolonged illness and life support will not cure their illness at all. Others oppose that every human being has the right to die with dignity without prosecution.
