The Right to die; or otherwise known as Euthanasia (a Greek term for 'well death' or 'dying without pain') has been a controversial debate for the past decades. The argument is that medical technology now a days prolongs life in ways never before possible. However, prolonging life doesn't always seem (morally) the RIGHT thing to do. So one might want to make a choice before his or her natural death occurs. This is where problems seep in. Religion, morals, and many other issues are brought up for and against euthanasia. The right to die is slowly making its way through state's hospitals. Currently only Washington and Oregon are the only states in the U.S that are licensed to for voluntary death. No matter how long this controversy last, there will always be different opinions on the topic.
I only have a few question that i really would like to know right now but there are many i would soon like to find out. What is the difference between euthanasia and PAS (physician assisted suicided)? Why are people so against or strongly believe in it? Does religion, social, or other background impact a persons decision?
