Euthanasia

Euthanasia

The origin of the word euthanasia is from the Greek eu meaning “good” and thanos meaning “death” (“All”).  Euthanasia has been traced as far back as ancient Greek and Roman civilizations.  These ancient societies approved of voluntary euthanasia.  Religion increased as time passed and life was viewed to be sacred.  This caused euthanasia to be seen as wrong in all forms (Home).  Euthanasia is the action of inducing the painless death of a person for reasons assumed to be merciful (“Death”).  This usually means killing in the name of passion (“Frequently”).  Euthanasia and assisted suicide are subject to much debate over whether it should be legal and whether it is ethical and moral to allow it to be done.
There are many forms of euthanasia.  They are passive euthanasia, active euthanasia, and involuntary euthanasia.  The patients are not required to have to extend their lives for as long as possible (Battin 336).  Allowing a person to die a natural death by withdrawing some form of support is passive euthanasia.  Some examples are removing life support, stopping medical procedures and medications, not delivering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and depriving a patient of
