본문내용

The hastening of death by artificial means to mitigate a hopeless patient’s pain is called euthanasia. In Greek, the meaning is an easy or a good death. Modern medical scientific developments have contributed to curing diseases and saving dying patients, but sometimes, a painful death continues meaninglessly because of medical intervention. Patients constantly demand ‘the right to die without pain,’ and this right has been discussed in many areas: religion, philosophy, literature, medicine, law and so on. Before discussing euthanasia we need to know what euthanasia is exactly. Euthanasia can be divided into three parts; voluntary euthanasia, non-voluntary euthanasia, and involuntary euthanasia.
