Euthanasia


            
             BOTTOM LINE KILLING IS KILLING!.
             People all over the world are talking more about euthanasia. Euthanasia is the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit. Doing it by act is intentionally causing a person's death by performing an action such as giving a lethal injection. Intentionally causing death by not providing necessary and ordinary care or food and water is euthanasia by omission. It can also be looked at as, voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary. Voluntary is when the person who is killed has requested to be killed. When the person who is killed made no request and gave no consent is non-voluntary. Involuntary is when the person made an expressed wish to the contrary. Euthanasia is also known as mercy killing or assisted suicide. Assisted suicide is when someone provides an individual with the information, guidance, and means to take his or her own life with the intention that they will be used for this purpose. All the different parts of euthanasia are part of good medical practice, endorsed by law, when they are properly carried out. There can be no euthanasia if there is no intention to kill. Done intentionally or not, murder is murder and I am against it.
             In the medical field, euthanasia may be viewed as active or passive. Active euthanasia is taking specific steps to cause a person's death, such as given a lethal injection. When something is not done to preserve the patient's life is passive. However, in some cases, withholding treatment can be good medical practice. An idea of this, in passive euthanasia a doctor is not actively killing someone; they are simply not saving them. There are laws that can penalize people for what they did not do. The most common method of euthanasia in the United States is withholding food and fluids. This is said that the person is starved to death not killed.
