Euthanasia is an Individual Decision :: Euthanasia Physician Assisted Suicide

mildness killing is an Individual Decision       According to the American Heritage Dictionary, mercy killing is delineate as the act or practice of ending the life of an individualistic suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary health check treatment. Not e preciseone agrees with this definition. I have always believed that mercy killing was the human filling or nonchoice of ending another persons life because of the excruciating pain they are suffering due to an incurable disease. Some disciplines think that euthanasia should never be an option no matter what the situation. While other disciplines inquire the validity of the actions of the person helping with the actual euthanasia. Still others support euthanasia in all told forms as long as it is performed for the sake of the sufferer.     thither are three types of euthanasia voluntary active euthanasia, passi ve euthanasia and doctor assisted suicide. In all cases where euthanasia is used the diligent must be suffering from an incurable, fatal disease. Voluntary active euthanasia is a deliberate intervention by an individual other than the patient, with the everlasting(a) intention of termination that patients life. (Gula, 501) Passive euthanasia takes place when the attending physician decides to discontinue therapy or treatment that would help to keep the patient alive, essentially letting the patient die without the benefit of medicine or aesculapian procedures. Finally, physician assisted suicide, or PAS, is where a physician helps to bring on the patients death by providing the means to do it or by broad the necessary information on how to do it, but the patient performs the lethal act (Gula, 501-502). Each of these methods is a form of euthanasia or mercy killing but each is different in the amount of interest by the physician. This paper will explore views from various disciplines about all three types of euthanasia.     According to the Catholic religion, euthanasia, as well as abortion and contraception, are sins against God and the Church. Pope John capital of Minnesota Ii wrote and encyclical letter that was issued at the Vatican in March 1995. Pope John Paul II shared his views on the topics of euthanasia, contraception and abortion in this very opinionated statement.
