EUTHANASIA AND MEDICAL ETHICS: AN ANALYSIS
Zigisha Pujari
Abstract :
The term Euthanasia has triggered global controversy and invites debate both in the field of ‘medicine’ and ‘law’. The right to have a dignified death puts medical ethics in a fix. Euthanasia involves a paradoxical concern; as a doctor who is essentially meant to protect the life of a patient is expected to ‘terminate’ his life by removing the life support or inject a lethal injection in order to execute euthanasia and the very act of removal of the life support though may be with the consent, violates his fundamental duty. Perhaps the dilemma of “Medical Ethics” starts with here, whether to perform a particular act or not? Euthanasia as an act done voluntarily by both parties (doctor and patient) with consent, so it does not go against medical ethics.
