Abstract

Euthanasia’ ‘Euthanasia’ is a Greek word Vouthanazia.1 It is a combination of two words eu-good and thanatos-death, means ‘to die well’. Thus, Euthanasia is defined as eliminating human life from painless means for the purpose of ending the physical pain. This means that when a doctor inspires death with a deadly injection, then a patient who is incredibly suffering and constantly requests the doctor to do so.
