The term euthanasia refers to euthanasia, a word comes from the Greek game possible and be translated with "good death." There are two different types of euthanasia. Positive and negative.

If nothing works, then it's God's will and really your time to go. This decision, obviously religion based would torment me, and probably most of the people who either chose to die, or let their loved ones die (Karlsson 34-42).

If anyone have said they would rather go to sleep than to be kept alive by a machine, or to go through a long term suffering a pain why should they not be allowed to choose this option? In the situation like this, people think that euthanasia should be allowed. Similarly, if someone has a deadly disease which has killed off the nerves, so one cannot do anything for himself, then again in this situation the patient and doctors may assist
