mercykilling(安乐死)

Euthanasia

Euthanasia or mercy killing which aims to induce the painless death of a person for triggers assumed to be merciful, including four types for instance voluntary and direct, involuntary and direct, and so forth, is one of the biggest controversial issues of this decade.

People who oppose to mercy killing argue that the euthanasia interferes with laws of nature, especially to those who share sincere religious beliefs, it is a desecration to the God. Also assisted death or assisted suicide may contribute to crime of people illegally taking advantage of it to deprive other people of their life, which is disguised violation of the right to life.

When it comes to me, whereas, euthanasia helps to relieve terminally ill patient from agonizing pain, which not merely fulfills one's desire for a self-determined death but also set aside their family from the pain of having to witness torture that the patient does not need to bear. Additionly, Death as nature as birth, is sometimes a process that require assistance, and mercy killing one of such help. A case in point is that when one is under extreme suffering in the body and spirit and the overwhelming existence of life become a nightmare, assisted suicide may be a good way. Finally, when one is suffering a sever and incurable disease which we can not even cope with, euthanasia can be a choice for it being not contempt for life or moral decline, but a form of respect for life.
