Euthanasia is a practice of painlessly ending a life prematurely of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful illness or in an irreversible coma. There are many controversies over euthanasia whether it should be legal or illegal. In New Zealand voluntary euthanasia is illegal and only slow euthanasia (treating dying patient’s pain using an opiate) is practised by doctors on one condition that it is not their intention to kill. The question is, is it really moral prolonging a person’s agony and make them die without dignity against their will.
I believe if future result is clear and the patient has to undergo a long and painful time, it would be more humane to help the pain as soon as possible.
