Should Euthanasia be Legalized in Pakistan?

Euthanasia is the practice of ending one's life by one's own will to prevent further suffering from an untreatable disease. It is also called good death or physician-assisted suicide. Euthanasia is performed by an attending physician and nurse either by deliberately injecting a lethal dose of a drug (active euthanasia) or by withholding life-support devices and drugs (passive euthanasia). Many parts of the world are moving towards supporting euthanasia, and it has gotten legal status. But in Pakistan, the practice of euthanasia is not allowed. The purpose of this argument is that it should be legalized in Pakistan to evade the painful demise of dying persons and that their vital organs are capable of being used for other patients before demise.

Abstract

Euthanasia is the practice of ending one's life by one's own will to prevent further suffering from an untreatable disease. It is also called good death or physician-assisted suicide. Euthanasia is performed by an attending physician and nurse either by deliberately injecting a lethal dose of a drug (active euthanasia) or by withholding life-support devices and drugs (passive euthanasia). Many parts of the world are moving towards supporting euthanasia, and it has gotten legal status. But in Pakistan, the practice of euthanasia is not allowed. The purpose of this argument is that it should be legalized in Pakistan to evade the painful demise of dying persons and that their vital organs are capable of being used for other patients before demise.
