Content: Morally and ethically, a medical professional has vowed to give and protect life. Thus, taking away life of a patient is an act, totally against the very basic principles of the medical professional. Also, the person asking for any of the acts of killing is considered to be in a state of comprised mental ability. This makes them unnecessarily ask for death to be freed from the depression, trauma and loss of freedom due to inability to carry out physical activities. As you can see, there is not a big difference between the two. Both acts of killing are considered illegal in many countries and there are laws that punish the doctor or person carrying out these acts. There are a few countries where both or either one of these acts has been legalized. These countries include Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Columbia, Luxembourg, Albania, Germany and Ireland (only passive euthanasia). Whether or not a person has the right to die remains debatable. Both these acts have a share of pros and cons.
