Active Euthanasia, Free Will and Autonomy

Positive euthanasia, free will and autonomy "Drugs in fools' hands were always poison and death. J. Jung Euthanasia in Greece literally means "good death". Advocates of euthanasia use it as a solution to the mental, mental and physical distress of the terminal patient. The type of euthanasia currently being discussed is called "active euthanasia" and is defined as an individual's behavior to achieve the death of others.

The value of contradiction, (2) unless positive euthanasia is suicidal, violate the basic prohibition of murder.

Opponents of active euthanasia also never, according to the nature of the act, a person never or never intends to die persons with themselves or other end-of-life disease or other kind of intolerable pain I will argue.

Active euthanasia refers to euthanasia caused by acts such as injection of a fatal drug and passive euthanasia refers to euthanasia caused by omission of a certain action. Traditionally, active euthanasia is different from passive euthanasia. The latter stops or discontinues treatment, whereas the former is actively killed. However, the famous philosopher James Rachels thinks that "active euthanasia is not worse than passive euthanasia". His argument is that the results are the same and two actions lead to the death of the patient, so there is no difference between euthanasia, morally, morally and actively.
