Content: According to the doctrines of some of the major religions around the world, suicide in any form is totally wrong and sinful. It is only God who has the right to take away life as He is the life giver. For that matter, in euthanasia too, it is a medical professional who gives the final injection to the patient, which is an indirect way of suicide. One has agreed to get killed and asked someone to do it for them. Assisted suicide is also killing of oneself with the help of others. 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.
