Mercy killing


One day my friend anish asked my opinion about mercy killing.At that day i carelessly answered him.But yesterday accidently i rememberd about my cousin's clinical death.so in this regards i am writing down my view . What do you think about it ?Should it be allowed? ... Man has no right to do anything against the natural phenomenon of life n death.m i right?

I am against the use of mercy killing under any circumstances. , a doctor's responsibility is to reduce sufferings and maintain life at all costs, according to the Hippocratic Oath. This is an oath which doctors must take before they become certified. Mercy Killing clearly contradicts the oath. How can the doctors commit mercy killing under the oath? They should not forget that they were trained to save lives in medical schools. Those who support this thing are not doctors, they are executioners.Secondly, a cure can come any day. Who can predict the development of medication? Take a look at the development of curing cancer in the past ten years. Medicines, treatments and operations are becoming more advanced with fewer side effects. New measures appear from time to time and become cheaper. Take one of the most common terminal illnesses, kidney disease as an example. Patients suffering from it need continuous kidney dialysis. Before, they needed a lot of time for the expensive treatment in the hospitals. Today, the treatment is done in a shorter time and is less expensive. Some patients can even own a dialysis machine at home. There is also kidney transplant in which the successful percentage is very high. There is always a treatment for the disease, unless you give up.Thirdly, doctors' predictions may be wrong.

god give us the life.so whatever may be the reason,we dont have any right to kill another human being.someone should have to prolong their life even though their death may be near and have to suffer through that time period.
