________________ resources & deliberately treating intention to kill as irrelevant. Money can always buy life. Saving resources almost everyone who spends money on anything other than such resources is deciding to kill & killing. 1)Decision that particular individuals life will come to an end would be taken in good faith. 2) Decision to bring an individuals life to an end 3) Decision executing a choice or intention to terminate life. Demand of Euthanasia is wrong for some as it involves the frustration of critical interests, but because it is simply a form of tyranny an attempt to control the life of a person who has his/her own autonomous views about how that life should go. The evil of tyranny does not require explication in terms of the nature of sanctity of life but rather in terms respect for person & their autonomy. Why it is wrong to admister pain killing drugs for the purpose of relieving pain & no way intending to kill but knowing that the dosage is liable to kill someone who might otherwise recover from their illness. It can be perfectly reasonable to feel that death would be a welcome relief for someone suffering from hopeless debility or illness or from intense & interactable pain & to wish for that relief from suffering which death promises to bring. It can't be reasonable to form judgement that all things considered this person will be better off dead or the world would be better off it this person were dead or this person is someone who should die Nor can it be reasonable to rely upon that judgement. Religion has strong views leave the Question of life & death in the hands of Almighty; Euthanasia is encroachment on Almighty's right for men to dispose of their own lives. The law is not in effect, the codification of the will of people when there is tension between legal verdict & people's thinking then it is time to rethink to reconsider the law. To consider ethical, legal & clinical implication of a person's right to withhold consent to life prolonging treatment & the position of persons who are no longer able to give or with hold consent. To consider whether & in what circumstances actions that have as their intention or a likely consequence the shortening of another person's life may be justified on the grounds that they accord with that person's wishes or that person's best interest. Passive Euthanasia is allowing an incurably ill patient to die eventhough medical intervention would postpone the death. While in voluntary Euthanasia deliberate action is taken to shorten an incurably ill patients 127 Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
