Content: Voluntary euthanasia or assisted suicide can lead to imprisonment of up to 14 years. The issue has been at the centre of very heated debates for many years and is surrounded by religious, ethical and practical considerations. The ethics of euthanasia
Euthanasia raises a number of agonising moral dilemmas: is it ever right to end the life of a terminally ill patient who is undergoing severe pain and suffering? under what circumstances can euthanasia be justifiable, if at all? is there a moral difference between killing someone and letting them die? At the heart of these arguments are the different ideas that people have about the meaning and value of human existence. Should human beings have the right to decide on issues of life and death? There are also a number of arguments based on practical issues. Some people think that euthanasia shouldn't be allowed, even if it was morally right, because it could be abused and used as a cover for murder.
