Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide

From the Paper:

"Euthanasia is the act of putting someone to death for his or her own benefit. This is why it is also called "mercy killing." The general idea is that a doctor would decide that a patient is suffering enough in their current condition that death is the most desirable option. Needless to say, this practice is not widely accepted. Nor is it legal in a majority of countries. There are essentially three viewpoints one can have; you are either for it or against it, or you agree with a modified version of it."
