Abstract

Euthanasia is a topic that has long been a dilemma for medical ethics, has been given more attention in the last decade. Due to the development of medical conditions, the number of such situations has been seriously considered today. The person who died a few years ago could now maintain his life through medical techniques. An example of this tendency is the situation where a patient with terminal illness wants to eliminate & die. Doctors believe that the patient has weeks, maybe days, to stay. There may be a problem in this situation if the person will not make his life through medical techniques. Euthanasia offers an offer for this problem.
