Euthanasia
Euthanasia refers to intentionally ending a life to relieve suffering. It has ancient roots but was condemned for over 2000 years. In the early 20th century, some argued for "mercy killing" those deemed worthless. Euthanasia may be voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary depending on patient consent. It is legally permitted in a few U.S. states and countries but generally banned due to ethical and practical concerns about the sanctity of life and potential for abuse. Proponents argue it respects patient autonomy while opponents fear it could devalue human life.

Against the death penalty
The WSCC Legislative Priorities document makes the case against capital punishment with 3 main points:
1) There is no evidence the death penalty deters crime more than life in prison without parole. It is more expensive and has led to innocent people being wrongly convicted and executed.
2) The death penalty is applied in an unfair and biased manner, with race playing a role in who receives it.
3) Most major religions are opposed to capital punishment on the grounds that all human life is sacred and that denying criminals the chance to reform goes against principles of justice and mercy.

7. Dying & Euthanasia.pptx
The term “euthanasia” is derived from Greek, literally meaning “good death”. Taken in its common usage however, euthanasia refers to the termination of a person’s life, to end their suffering, usually from an incurable or terminal condition. It is for this reason that euthanasia was also coined the name “mercy killing”.
Acts of euthanasia are further categorised as “voluntary”, “involuntary” and “non-voluntary.” Voluntary euthanasia refers to euthanasia performed at the request of the patient. Involuntary euthanasia is the term used to describe the situation where euthanasia is performed when the patient does not request it, with the intent of relieving their suffering – which, in effect, amounts to murder. Non-voluntary euthanasia relates to a situation where euthanasia is performed when the patient is incapable of consenting. The term that is relevant to the euthanasia debate is “active voluntary euthanasia”, which collectively refers to the deliberate act to end an incurable or terminally ill patient’s life, usually through the administration of lethal drugs at his or her request. The main difference between active voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide is that in assisted suicide and physician-assisted suicide, the patient performs the killing act. Assisted suicide is when a person intentionally assists a patient, at their request, to terminate his or her life. Physician-assisted suicide refers to a situation where a physician intentionally assists a patient, at their request, to end his or her life, for example, by the provision of information and drugs.

Euthanasia refers to the intentional ending of a life to relieve suffering. It was practiced in ancient Greece but opposed by Hippocrates and Judeo-Christian traditions. Debate around legalizing euthanasia discusses relieving pain versus devaluing life. Arguments for euthanasia include relieving suffering and freeing funds, while arguments against include risks to vulnerable groups and a slippery slope. The Nazi regime carried out a "euthanasia" program that murdered over 70,000 disabled people. A proposed "Euthanasia Coaster" rollercoaster was designed to kill riders through lack of oxygen.

Involuntary euthanasia is performed without the patient's knowledge or consent. Euthanasia can also be active, such as with a lethal injection, or passive, such as removing life support. The legality and ethics of euthanasia are controversial, with some arguing it should be legal to allow patient autonomy, while others believe it violates the sanctity of life or could be abused
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.
