The post discusses the complex and controversial issue of euthanasia, also known as "mercy killing." The author aims to explore the topic neutrally, acknowledging the long-standing debate that presents numerous arguments both for and against the practice. The author distinguishes between two definitions: "Merciful Death," which involves the consent of a person suffering from an incurable disease, and "Mercy Killing," where the decision is made by someone other than the patient, often in cases where the patient cannot give consent, such as being in a coma or a child. Many medical organizations, ethical institutions, and individuals oppose euthanasia, citing ethical considerations, the sanctity of life, and the belief that life should be preserved until natural death. However, the author notes that those who criticize euthanasia may not have faced the difficult decisions required in extreme situations, where suffering and loss of quality of life are significant factors. The author suggests that any decision regarding euthanasia should involve the patient, their relatives, doctors, and legal frameworks, emphasizing the need for strong justification, such as unbearable pain, rather than financial concerns. The post ultimately reflects the complexity of the issue and the differing perspectives surrounding it.
