1. Euthanasia is generally defined as the act of killing an incurably ill person out of
concern and compassion for that person's suffering. Euthanasia is usually separated
into two categories: passive euthanasia and active euthanasia. In many jurisdictions,
active euthanasia can be considered murder or manslaughter, whereas passive
euthanasia is accepted by professional medical societies, and by the law under certain
circumstances. Hastening the death of a person by altering some foron of support and
letting nature take its course is known as passive euthanasia. Examples include such
things as turning off respirators, haling medications, discontinuing food and water
so as to allow a person to dehydrate or starve to death, or failure to resuscitate.
2. Passive euthanasia also includes giving a patient large doses of morphine to control
páin. In spite of the likelihood that the painkiller will suppress respiration and cause
death earlier than otherwise vould have happened. Such doses of painkillers have a
dual effect of relieving pain and hastening death. Administering such medication is
regarded as ethical in most political jurisdictions and by most medical societies.
3. These procedures are performed on terminally ill persons so that natural death
will occur sooner. They are also commonly performed on persons in a persistent
vegetative state: for example, individuals with massive brain damage or in a coma
from which they are not likely to regain consciousness.
4. Far more controversial, active euthanasin involves, causing the death of a person
through a direct action, in response to a request from that person. In so far as this
suggestion may be based on the quality of life experienced by patients, this is an
inadequate approach. At one extreme we may be dealing with a birth that cannot be
called human at all: such a being likely to live at the most for only a few hours. Many
feel thal during this time it ought to be given ordinary nursing care. But it would be
difficult to condemn anyone who takes the opposite view. At anything less than this
extreme, the bringing to an end the life of say, a physically challenged child, by the
deliberate refusal of the fullest medical care seems morally indeſensible.
