    HISTORY OF
    EUTHANASIA
    “…To please no one will I
    prescribe a deadly drug nor
    give advice which may cause
    his death...”
    “Father of Medicine”
    Greek physician Hippocrates

    Ancient Greeks and Romans did


    not believe in preservation of
    life and were tolerant of
    suicides.

    1300: English Common Law


    declared suicide a criminal act.

    1920: The book "Permitting the


    Destruction of Life not Worthy
    of Life" was published.

    1935: The Euthanasia Society


    of England was formed to
    promote euthanasia.
    1939: Nazi Germany carried out
    an involuntary euthanasia
    program, largely in secret.

    1995: world's first euthanasia


    legislation, the Rights of the
    Terminally Ill Act 1995, was
    passed in the Northern Territory
    of Australia

    1997: The legislation was


    overturned by Australia’s
    Federal Parliament.

    Today: Euthanasia is a hotly


    debated topic for legalisation in
    different parts of world.
    Legislative s, NGOs and Medical
    associations and advocacy
    organizations are key stake
    holders.
    VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA

    Is physician an Angel or Devil???


    • Physician assisted ‘suicide’
    is the aiding to bring about
    death for "compassionate
    reasons".
    • It begins with a patient's
    request for help in ending
    their life.
    • Usually, the physician then
    offers counseling,
    information, and
    instructions.
    • The physician prescribes
    the medication that will
    end the patient's life but
    does not otherwise
    participate in the act itself.
    • The patient administers
    their own terminal dose of
    medication.
    NON-VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA

    Our relatives!! Enemies or Allies???


    • Hastening the death of a
    person by withdrawing
    some form of support and
    letting nature take its
    course. For example:
    • Removing life support
    equipment (e.g. turning off
    a respirator) or
    • Stopping medical
    procedures, medications
    etc., or
    • Stopping food and water
    and allowing the person to
    dehydrate or starve to
    death.
    • Not delivering CPR (cardio-
    pulmonary resuscitation)
    and allowing a person,
    whose heart has stopped,
    to die.
    • Looking at the condition
    of the patient, his/her
    relatives decide to end
    the life of the patient.
    • Patient is not asked or
    in other words not in a
    state to be asked.
    • Highly criticized type of
    euthanasia.
    REASONS FOR:
    •People have a right to
    decide when they want to
    die.
    • Wrong to keep people
    alive beyond their natural
    life span (e.g. life support
    machine).
    •Gives people the ability
    to die with dignity.
    •Relatives spared the
    agony of watching their
    loved ones suffer a slow
    and painful death.
    • Jesus said – ‘Do unto
    others as you would have
    them do to you’.
    •If you were suffering you
    may want your life to end.
    REASONS AGAINST:
    •People might commit
    euthanasia against a person’s
    wishes.
    • People might recover from
    an illness against all odds.
    •Doctor’s diagnosis might be
    wrong.
    •Religions believe in the
    Sanctity of Life.
    •Doctors are against
    euthanasia it is their job to try
    and save & protect life.
    •Some people think accepting
    suffering may have a spiritual
    value for your soul.
    •hospitals are places where
    the terminally ill are cared for,
    without losing their dignity.
