From the Paper:

"Elizabeth Bouvia's request to starve herself to death reignited the controversial debate over euthanasia and the right to die. The purpose of this research is to examine this debate and develop moral arguments in favor of euthanasia.
The word "euthanasia" comes from the Greek eu, signifying "good," and thanatos, signifying "death." But the "good death" has acquired a more complex meaning in recent times. Progress in medical technology has given euthanasia an entirely new character. Previously, euthanasia more often concerned the "right to die" issue. An individual for whatever reason would choose whether to continue living. This choice was usually prompted by a hopeless situation of immense pain and misery. Euthanasia at this point, however, was always a voluntary decision."
