Active again euthanasia stands classified into another three types: the voluntary euthanasia where the euthanasia is conducted with a appeal from the patient- here the medical support are withdrawn with the consent of the patient, the involuntary euthanasia which is also known as “mercy killing”, refers to the taking of the life of the incurable patient without his or her consent in order to relieve him or her from the sufferings and the non-voluntary euthanasia where euthanasia is conducted despite the fact that the patient is not competent enough to give approval. (Mc Dougal, Gorman and Roberts, 2008, p. 2. Mc, Millan, Engelhardt and Spicker, 1987, p.153) This practice of involuntary euthanasia has been declared illegal throughout the United States. It is an acknowledged practice for the animals but in case of human beings it is strictly forbidden. Passive euthanasia refers to the circumstances where the informed patient is allowed to die a “natural death” under the condition where medical aid is withdrawn. The practice of passive euthanasia is legalized across the countries of United States. In some cases the incurably ill patients decides on taking away their life intentionally by taking on active measures with the assistance of their physicians, this is known as statutory euthanasia. Other than Oregon, other states of US have termed this practice as illegal. Legitimate legal euthanasia is based on the principle of “dual-effect” and involves the use of “lethal dosing” or “terminal sedation” (Sanbar, n. d). Euthanasia can be justified on the basis of individual autonomy, virtuous ethics and utilitarianism. Arguments for “Euthanasia” Individual autonomy and euthanasia Euthanasia stands justified on several grounds of morality. The arguments favoring the voluntary euthanasia or assisted suicide is justifiable on the ethical grounds of individual sovereignty and the professed responsibility of the health professionals for respecting the patient’s informed preferences. It is justified on the ground of individual autonomy, when one chooses to live the life he or she wants to, the individual should have the authority and the individuality for choosing the kind of death he or she wants to witness. The right to choose his or her death should be respected. The advocates of voluntary euthanasia argue that an adult has every right to refuse any kind of treatment which might involve a life saving one. The concepts of ethical issues have been considered to support the voluntary euthanasia. It is being argued that if an individual have the authority to make informed choices about medical treatment then the right of informed medical assistance to death gets naturally extended to her. (Sanders and Chaloner, 2007, pp. 41-42) Individual autonomy also necessarily stands against slavery, while it can be argued that slavery is not justifiable. The reason for not allowing slavery in a free country is the fact that handing over the control of one’s own life is the most unwise things to do, hence man take all the decision in his life by his own.
