Euthanasia

No , fun snaps are not illegal you can purchase them from all most all joke shops any where (even where fireworks are forbidden) .And also online (Amazon) .

While practically no-one in current society would tolerate involuntary euthanasia, 'mercy killings' and 'assisted suicides', where the person killed consents to his or her fate, are the topic of heated international debate.

An important difference in UK law exists between active euthanasia and passive euthanasia. Since the Bland ruling of 1993, 'assisted suicides', which involve 'omissions' that are mainly removing life-saving care are not illegal. However, actively taking action to end another's life is illegal, even with consent.

Advantages

1) painless death

2) Speedy termination of physical and emotional suffering.

3) saves family's money

4) if the person has a chronic disease then it will eliminate the need to spend money on expensive surgery, medicine and life-support

5) organs can be put to good use

6) Relieves the patient from pain and suffering

7) Relieve mental suffering from the patient and his relatives.

We cannot know for sure when euthanasia started for sure, but if you look at the earliest known form, in Nazi Germany, it was to purify the "Aryan race". Aka, kill those who weren't good enough.

Laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are in place to prevent abuse and to protect people from unscrupulous doctors and others. They are not, and never have been, intended to make anyone suffer

Well, when an animal gets euthanized it cannot see any other animals being euthanized to prevent it from getting scared. Also, the vet will handle your pet gently. Now, it will ingect the animal with an overdose of anesthetic which permanatly puts the animal to sleep. Hope that helps!

Just about all of them. In most countries, so-called "passive" euthanasia is legal - that is when a person is being kept alive by artificial means (life support), and the support is simply terminated, allowing the person to die naturally. This is usually only done when the person made clear earlier that they do not wish to be kept alive by artificial means. "Active" euthanasia is far more controversial. That is when someone actually takes steps to hasten the death of someone else. It is illegal almost everywhere in the world. In the U.S., it is illegal in 48 states - with Washington and Oregon being the only states which allow it. In those states, there are many safeguards to ensure that the patient is the one making the decision, and nobody else. The patient must be confirmed by at least 2 independent physicians to have less than 6 months to live, that they are of sound mind (so they can make the decision intelligently), and that their quality of life is seriously impaired. Even if a person is allowed to be euthanized in either of these states, the doctor cannot actually administer the drugs that will end the patient's life. They can simply prescribe the drugs (usually a lethal dose of legal painkillers or sedatives, combined with an anti-histamine drug to prevent allergic reactions that would cause vomiting and other painful side effects), and the patient has administer the drugs to himself of herself.

i personally disagree of euthanasia or as they say the mercy killing. i grew up not as a devout or religious person yet i knew that life is a sacred gift from God. only the holy one has the sole right to take life from someone. i believe euthanasia is the most coward way of fighting life even to the last hope that's left. they say that they are doing it for the sake of "painless death" for the patient itself. i'd say that it's coward. life will not be always merry. it is a fact that sometimes we really have to face pain. pain is part of life. so face it! at least, if it would be the patient's last minute in this world, let him prove his loyalty to himself, to his creator, and show the gratitude that for once, he appreciate the life that was given to him.

Suicide means to kill oneself.

Euthanasia is committed by another person.

One common chemical used for euthanasia in animals is sodium pentobarbital. This substance is a barbiturate that induces a painless and peaceful death when administered in a high enough dose.

Hold your hand over who your trying to knock out covering their nose and mouth and wait until they stop struggling but wait to long though or you will kill he/she if someone tries it on you push your head backwards

yep

They don't want to have to live through the pain.

or they are in a coma,

or a loss of self respect and/or dignity

This is a complex issue that touches on multiple concerns in a variety of fields.

Euthanasia of animals is legal for a number of reasons: animals are considered property under the law (equivalent to a TV or car); animals have not historically be afforded the same 'right to life' that humans have been; animals can result in significant financial burdens that are difficult to pass to a social safety net.

Deliberately causing the death of a human being, however, is considered to be a moral sin by most religious traditions (except in the case of self-defense or war). This argument is based on the concept that God gave all humans life so only God should be the one to take those lives away. Humans are also generally recognized as having a basic intrinsic 'right to life' that cannot be superceded by the wishes of another human being.

There are some groups that feel that humans should have the right to request assistance in ending their own lives; this is usually referred to as "assisted suicide", "physician-assisted suicide" or some variation thereof rather than euthanasia. The primary argument put forth by these groups is that humans have the right to decide what happens to their bodies while they are living but are contradictorially being denied the right to decide when they will exit that body.

i believe so .. yes .. human instinct of survival especially if one is abducted

mercy killing is applied for good purpose only but not for harm.

it depends in the situation, but actually mercy killing can be only apply for those person who don't have any possible chance to live,,

for example.. for those patient who are declared that their their brain is already dead...

think about this if those machine is not invented do you think that they are still alive?

meaning that their are only breathing because of those machine but their are suppose to be dead if it there's no life supporting machine.

so mercy killing can be applicable for me... their are made not to murder but to stop the suffering of your love ones.

There's really no substitute for diet and exercise, but you may want to try diet aids if you are severly obese.

I belive that if god belives its time for your life to end you shouldent divert this by talking medication. I belive that if god belives its time for your life to end you shouldent divert this by talking medication.
