Euthanasia
Euthanasia means gentle or easy death for those who are incurably ill and in
pain. So should a person have the right to take another person's life or his own
when he/she is incurably ill and in pain. That is what whole of Australia is
trying to decide. The N.T all ready has passed a law that legalise euthanasia in
that state. Now other government leaders and members are in support of this are
pushing for an Australian euthanasia law. Christian Groups and Anti-Euthanasia
have seen euthanasia as a sin and a choice that no-body should make. Some
doctors have taken ill patients life's as a request from the patient should this
now be openly done.
On the 18/06/96, The head of the NT chapter of the Australia Medical Association,
Dr.Chris Wake, and Aboriginal leader Rev.Djiniynni Gondarra put forward the NT
euthanasia law .But was dismissed by the NT Supreme Court. After appealing and
with the support of three major party leaders the law was passed. Prime
Minister John Howard disapproved with the Law and saying that he has no problem
reconciling his views on federalism with his views on life and death by voting
to over turn the law. Also Kevin Andrews was strongly not in favour and with
Howard's support he introduced a bill overriding the N.T laws. But still in
the end the law was still standing. If our leaders are divided we could say that
the citizens of Australia would have been divided on this Issue. Maybe a
referendum would have been appropriate, but still euthanasia would still occur
illegal and secrecy.
Christian groups and Christian have strongly supported their view on euthanasia ,
they have seen it as a sin. For a Christian his life is not just his because his
life is part of god's. In the Bible, chapter of (Romans 14:18) it states "If we
live ,we are responsible to the Lord and when we die we are responsible to the
Lord. Both in life and death we belong to the lord. Christian view the death of
a human person as their turn to meet god." As Christian Rights groups and Anti-
euthanasia believe in these views they have protested in a number of occasions

The word "euthanasia" is Greek, which means "a good death." The issue is far more complex than what a dictionary's explanation is. The issue of euthanasia is one of the most discussed topics in all of the United States Congress. US government agencies, legislators and leaders have attempted unsuccessfully to stop assisted suicide nationwide by barring the use of federally controlled substances at lethal levels intended for mercy killing. There are many issues surrounding the act of assisted suicide that are yet to be resolved in the United States. In the near future Congress should have a set law on this topic and that will end the confusion circulating around euthanasia.

Should a patient have the right to ask for a physician’s help to end his or her life? This question has raised great controversy for many years. The legalization of physician assisted suicide or active euthanasia is a complex issue and both sides have strong arguments. Supporters of active euthanasia often argue that active euthanasia is a good death, painless, quick, and ultimately is the patient’s choice. While it is understandable, though heart-rending, why a patient that is in severe pain and suffering that is incurable would choose euthanasia, it still does not outweigh the potential negative effects that the legalization of euthanasia may have. Active euthanasia should not be legalized because
