적극적 안락사와 관련한 법적 논쟁

It is a matter of debate as to whether active euthanasia is allowed. While some studies reported that active euthanasia can be allowed in strict conditions, other studies reported that active euthanasia should be prohibited in any condition, as it is an illegal act of murder. The aim of the present study is to describe critics against active euthanasia. Active euthanasia takes any direct action designed to kill patients. In general, the conditions for active euthanasia were following: (1) hopeless patients with incurable diseases, (2) patients with death agony, (3) alleviation of severe pain, (4) patient's consent in a conscious state of patients, (5) doctor's procedure, and (6) appropriate methods. One of the main problems in the active euthanasia is to violate human rights, although patients permit it. In addition, acitve euthanasia that kills patients with death agony is not the best way to alleviate their pain and problems. It is also not appropriate to ask doctors to proceed the active euthanasia, as their jobs are to save human life in stead of helping people die. For these reasons, I don't consider the active euthansia in any condition, as humans have no right to ask kill themselves and no right to kill anyone in any circumstance.
