Voluntary euthanasia is illegal in Australia. It is currently defined as the act of killing a person, who otherwise might not die, to prevent some kind of pain or suffering – with their permission. The subject of permission is what classifies it as voluntary euthanasia, rather than simply the broad subject of euthanasia, which includes involuntary and non-voluntary.

When a patient is definitely going to die within very short time and suffering severe trauma is killed with a lethal injection prescribed by an authorized physician. The phenomenon is called euthanasia, which is legal only in the Netherlands. It is supported by the fact that people used to kill horses with severely wounded legs that can never run in future.

Although Cryotherapy and is physiological effects are commonly agreed upon, there are some people in the field that do not agree with the use of Cryotherapy. One of the researches at the front of the fight against Cryotherapy is Gary Reinl. He has a very strong belief, based on his clinical experience working with doctors, that Cryotherapy never wen through the proper scientific process (Hawkins, J. R., & Hawkins, S. W., 2016). He thinks that it was expected into the field before really being…

In 1994 Oregon became the first state in America to legalize- assisted suicide. People voted, in Oregon, for the Death with Dignity Act to be passed. The act would allow adults, who were…

Next, we have to consider the principle of beneficence. The principle of beneficence states we should foster the interest and happiness of other persons and society at large. This requires that one ought to remove evil or harm and promote good.

When machines, medicine, and clinicians fail to help cure a patient of symptoms, they deserve to be released from the…

We have all been a witness to death in some way or another, have we not? You may have mourned the loss of a loved one, you may be personally facing a terminal illness, you may have secretly anticipated someone’s death in a movie, you may have read about the dearly departed in the obituary section of the newspaper, or you may have even survived a horrific automobile accident. Many of us have survived throughout some ghastly times, when others were not so fortunate. While death is inevitable, this…

In this essay, it will be argued that there is a moral difference between active and passive euthanasia. The distinction is that active euthanasia is the direct involvement of action that cause someone to die. However, passive euthanasia is the inaction of allowing someone to die by not doing something that would prolong the patient’s life.
