Euthanasia is one of the most complicated issues in the medical field due to the debate whether it is morally right or not. Today the lives of many patients can be saved thanks to the latest discoveries in medicine and technology. But we still can't find cures for all diseases, and patients have to undergo extremely painful treatments just to live a little longer. These patients struggle with physical and psychological pain. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. discusses the topic of just and unjust laws in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" which questions whether it is right to kill a patient who is suffering or whether it is wrong to take that person's life even if that person is suffering. In my opinion people should have the right, with some restrictions, to end their lives in any way they see fit if they are in endless pain. Euthanasia comes from the Greek words Eu: "good" and Thanasia: "death". It refers to the practice of intentionally ending the life of a human being to eliminate suffering for his or her benefit. For example, if a person has a terminal illness and all kinds of treatments have been done, but the patient is still suffering: euthanasia might be an option. In “Letter from Birmingham Jail” Dr. King explains that “A just law is a man-made code that agrees with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is not in harmony with the law moral". (592) With King's description of what is right and wrong, euthanasia would be considered unjust because it contradicts the moral law because someone takes another person's life despite doing so with good intentions. Euthanasia is classified into two categories: passive and active. In passive euthanasia, doctors... mid-paper... will reconsider the position when we have cases of patients who have developed AIDS and the treatment is so severe that their life becomes unbearable. Those patients should not be forced to undergo treatments that would end their lives in the worst possible way. Death is seen sooner or later, it must be respected if the patient prefers death to suffering. Suffering without any means to stop it is a cruel act that humans can impose on each other. God sent us to learn and live the life He has shown us, but He also demonstrates compassion and forgiveness during these times. Although euthanasia is described as unjust according to King's definition, I believe that ending a patient's life to relieve pain and suffering is 'only' only if the patient has made the decision and the doctors have done everything possible. Also, a happy death sounds much better than a painful death.
