Euthanasia
Euthanasia involves intentionally ending a patient's life to relieve suffering, usually through lethal injection or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment. There are five types: active euthanasia takes steps to cause death, while passive euthanasia withholds treatment; voluntary euthanasia occurs at a competent patient's request, while non-voluntary does not involve their knowledge. Religions differ in their stances - Islam and Judaism forbid hastening death, some Christians emphasize natural death, and opinions have increased in support over time from 37% to 75%, though support is lower when called "suicide."

Alternatives like pain management and palliative care make requests for euthanasia disappear.

EUTHANASIA: WORLD AND INDIAN PERSPECTIVEpptx
Euthanasia, derived from Greek words meaning "good death," is a complex and controversial ethical and legal issue revolving around the deliberate ending of a person's life to relieve suffering. It is often a topic of intense debate within medical, legal, religious, and ethical circles.
Types of Euthanasia:
Voluntary Euthanasia: This occurs when a competent person makes a voluntary and informed decision to end their life with the assistance of a medical professional or loved one.
Non-voluntary Euthanasia: In this scenario, the decision to end a person's life is made by someone other than the individual, typically when they are unable to make decisions for themselves due to being in a coma or having advanced dementia.
Involuntary Euthanasia: This is the termination of a person's life against their will or without their consent, often performed in situations where the person's suffering is deemed unbearable or where their quality of life is deemed too low by others.
Assisted Suicide: This involves providing a person with the means or information necessary to end their own life, such as prescribing lethal medication, while the individual ultimately carries out the act themselves.
Ethical Considerations:
Autonomy vs. Sanctity of Life: Supporters of euthanasia argue for individual autonomy and the right to die with dignity, while opponents often cite the sanctity of life and the potential for abuse or slippery slope arguments.
Quality of Life: Discussions often revolve around the subjective nature of suffering and the quality of life, with some arguing that euthanasia can alleviate unnecessary suffering, while others raise concerns about the potential devaluation of certain lives.
Medical Ethics: Euthanasia raises questions about the role of healthcare professionals in end-of-life care, the distinction between killing and allowing to die, and the obligations of physicians to relieve suffering while upholding ethical principles.
Legal Status:
The legality of euthanasia varies greatly around the world. Some countries, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Canada, have legalized certain forms of euthanasia under strict conditions, while others, including many U.S. states, maintain its illegality. In some regions, there are ongoing debates and court cases seeking to clarify or change existing laws.
Conclusion:
Euthanasia remains a deeply divisive and emotionally charged issue, touching on fundamental questions about life, death, autonomy, and suffering. As medical technology advances and societal attitudes evolve, discussions surrounding euthanasia are likely to persist, challenging individuals, communities, and policymakers to navigate the complexities of this sensitive topic with compassion and integrity.
Euthanasia
This document discusses euthanasia and provides information on its introduction, types, legality in various countries, and arguments for and against it. Euthanasia involves intentionally ending a life to relieve suffering and comes in active, passive, voluntary, involuntary, and non-voluntary forms. It is currently legal in some European countries and states in the US under certain conditions. In India, passive euthanasia is permitted based on a Supreme Court ruling allowing life support to be withdrawn for patients in a permanent vegetative state. While euthanasia can relieve pain and allow freedom of choice, it may also be used for health care cost containment and discourage efforts to find cures for incurable diseases by rejecting the value

EUTHANASIA
The document discusses the issue of euthanasia and whether it should be legal or illegal. It notes that while some argue euthanasia should be allowed to relieve suffering, others believe it undermines the value of life and could be open to abuse if legalized. The document outlines arguments on both sides, including that euthanasia may allow death with dignity for those in pain, but it may also reduce the role of doctors and become difficult to properly regulate without unintended consequences like misuse or making killing too easy. Overall, the document suggests there are good arguments on both sides and finding a solution is complex given different religious and ethical views.

Euthanasia
- 2. • Euthanasia simply means Mercy Killing. • Euthanasia refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering.
- 4. Voluntary, Nonvoluntary and Involuntary • Voluntary euthanasia (euthanasia upon request) is performed with the consent of the individual. • Nonvoluntary euthanasia is performed without the consent of the individual. • Involuntary euthanasia is performed against the wishes of the individual.
- 5. • For Euthanasia??? • Against Euthanasia???? There are many controversies regarding Euthanasia. Ever person has rights to live on this planet and man has no rights to interfere in the GOD’s plan is the belief of some people. Some people support Euthanasia on the basis of RIGHT TO DIGNITY
- 6. • The Indian Perspective: In India, the sanctity of life has been placed on the highest pedestal. ” The right to life” under Article 21 of the Constitution has received the widest possible interpretation under the able hands of the judiciary and rightly so. This right is inalienable and is inherent in us. It cannot and is not conferred upon us. This vital point seems to elude all those who keep on clamoring for the “Right to Die”.

- 10. I NEED JUSTICE HELP ME TO DIE…..
- 11. A French woman badly disfigured by facial tumors caused by a rare and incurable disease has appealed to President Nicolas Sarkozy to allow her to die by euthanasia.
- 12. • YES # Euthanasia is different from suicide as it is only allowed in the cases where death is impending and one can not do anything except wait for his end, and suffer in between. # Limited hospital beds could be used for people whose lives could be saved instead of continuing the life of those who want to die which increases the general quality of care and shortens hospital waiting lists. It is a burden to keep people alive past the point they can contribute to society. • NO # The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government. # Euthanasia is a violation of the sanctity of human life that unduly compromises the professional roles of health care employees, especially doctors.
- 13. IS KILLING OURSELF AND INTERFEREING IN GOD’S PLAN IS RIGHT???? vs DON’T WE HAVE THE RIGHTS TO RESCUE FROM OUR PAIN?????????
- 14. Tony Nicklinson • Tony Nicklinson, 58, suffers from locked-in syndrome following a stroke on a business trip in Athens in 2005 • In witness statement read out to High Court, Nicklinson said: 'I have no privacy or dignity left‘ • His wife Jane said: 'Whatever happens there is no happy ending‘ • Daughter Lauren describes her father's life as 'pure torture'
- 15. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DIGNITY TONY BEFORE TONY AFTER
- 16. Euthanasia case in India Aruna Shanbaug was a nurse working at the KEM Hospital in Mumbai on 27 November 1973 when she was strangled and sodomized by Sohanlal Walmiki, a sweeper. During the attack she was strangled with a chain, and the deprivation of oxygen has left her in a vegetative state ever since. She has been treated at KEM since the incident and is kept alive by feeding tube. On behalf of Aruna, her friend Pinki Virani, a social activist, filed a petition in the Supreme Court arguing that the "continued existence of Aruna is in violation of her right to live in dignity". The Supreme Court made its decision on 7 March 2011. The court rejected the plea to discontinue Aruna's life support but issued a set of broad guidelines legalising passive euthanasia in India. The Supreme Court's decision to reject the discontinuation of Aruna's life support was based on the fact the hospital staff who treat and take care of her did not support euthanizing her.[
- 19. WHAT WOULD BE ARUNA’s Perspective??? FOR EUTHANASIA : I am in great pain and I need to die. Please help me someone. I can’t take this pain anymore. Can anyone hear me? OR AGAINST EUTHANASIA : I have full rights to live. As I have managed to survive for so many years I can manage it in future too. Nobody has rights to play with my life. I want to live my life to the fullest.
- 20. AND MY LAST QUESTION… Euthanasia should be legalized in India or not ? Are you for or Against Euthanasia?????
