The ethical dilemma regarding euthanasia

Euthanasia is the practice of the intentional ending of the life of a patient who is not going to recover again to relieve pain and suffering. Ethical dilemma is the conflict of choosing a decision. So during euthanasia the patient and family members for choosing decision whether the patient should go for euthanasia or let the patient live for a long time with the suffering and pain. Euthanasia can be used for the terminally ill patient or the pain who is in severe pain that will be for the life long. But this practice can be morally not acceptable to kill someone who is not dead by nature. In some countries, the law allowed to practice euthanasia but in some country it not accepted by the law. Euthanasia can only be practice when the patient's self is ready or give consent. If the patient is unconscious then the family member can give the consent to practice it.

The pros of practicing euthanasia are that it gives the patient with severe pain or suffering can let it die peacefully by injecting lethal injection. This helps to make vanish the pain and suffering. The con is that the patient can live longer by managing the symptoms if not practice euthanasia.
