본문내용

It has been said that life is a precious gift that is to be received from the Creator with gratitude which should be cherished, preserved, and enhanced in every way possible. However, when the potential for meaningful, joyful, desirable life has been thoroughly exhausted and every effort made to prevent the inevitable, individuals now have the option to legally take back this gift of life. Euthanasia and assisted suicide enable individuals to seek assistance from physicians in hopes of ending their own lives, with complete disregard to nature’s course. The ideas of euthanasia and assisted suicide are highly debated between those who believe that euthanasia and assisted suicide enable individuals to seek assistance from physicians in hopes of ending their own lives, and those who believe that euthanasia and assisted suicide are ethically wrong.
Euthanasia and assisted-suicide has been largely debated in all parts of the globe, including the United States, Netherlands, Belgium, and Australia (Marker). There lies a significant difference between euthanasia and assisted-suicide; but both are tied together with similar ideas, the idea being assistance in ending a life. The method to distinguish euthanasia and assisted suicide is by observing the last act, the act without which death would not occur. If a third party performs the last act that intentionally causes a patient’s death, euthanasia has occurred. If the person who has died has performed the last act, then assisted suicide has occurred (Marker).
