    EUTHANASIA
    (Mercy Killing)

    Greek expression Euthanatos (eu = good, thanatos = death) Meaning: Termination of the life of a person suffering from a painful and incurable medical condition.

    The New International Dictionary defines Mercy Killing and Euthanasia as Painless, Peaceful Death.

    Euthanasia is distinguished from suicide by the necessary participation of a third party, typically either a physician or family member.

    The Nazis introduced legal euthanasia, approved by doctors, for selected people such as the severely mentally disabled, on the grounds that they had a life which was not worth living.

    PATIENTS RIGHTS
    Patients have the right to refuse any medical treatment. A doctor who treats a patient against his or her express wishes can be charged with assault. Educate people as to their right to refuse treatment.

    The professionals recognize that if pain is controlled, as it can be in virtually all cases, very few terminally ill people ask to be put to death. Experience in Holland tells us that voluntary Euthanasia can quickly become involuntary euthanasia.
