Euthanasia

Euthanasia is a form of euthanasia that involves intentionally inflicting the death of a terminally ill patient in order to end his suffering. The term was first coined by American physician Robert Master in 1987. Euthanasia includes several approaches depending on the conditions and condition of the patient. Some of them include self-death through methods such as lethal injections, drug overdoses and other methods, during which it is necessary to convince the patient that this manipulation will be painless and minimally traumatic for the body. Other approaches involve physicians or health care officials intervening in the euthanasia procedure. This may include routine lethal injections or the administration of slow-acting drugs or "sedative" drugs that can potentially prolong the patient's agony, as well as forced actions or manipulation of special medical instruments, controlling or ending the life of a dying patient. Euthanasia is a controversial topic and there are different points of view on the issue. Opponents express concerns that its use will lead to more people who do not want to live, and that euthanasia will be difficult to regulate and control, leading to unnecessary cruelty. They also point out that performing euthanasia may violate patients' rights and disrupt procedures such as obtaining consent for medical care. As for proponents of euthanasia, they argue that this form of euthanasia allows dying people to get what they wanted and reduce unnecessary suffering. They also argue that euthanasia should be considered a legal procedure that should only be used after careful evaluation by medical professionals to ensure the safety and effectiveness of such treatment.
