Sometimes a patient is diagnosed with a terminal illness (no cure). Other times a patient will be ridden or in a state where they can no longer live properly without the aid of various life support machines. When this happens more often than not the patients lose their will to live and seek a pain less, easy and peaceful way out.
Euthanasia is a way of ending a patients suffering in a quick and painless manner. Many believe that prolonging the inevitable and keeping a dying patient alive is cruel and gives a painful and slow death to the patient.
When a patient has reached the point where nothing can be done with their conditions they are kept alive until finally die “naturally”. Patients will most likely be induced in drugged state where hallucinations and long restless night are common. With euthanasia patients can ease off to a dignified and peaceful death.
Lastly euthanasia may only be performed under the consent of the patient and should not be confused with suicide.
