In the modern era like now more and more disease developig. We know severe and cronic diseases. For example is cancer, all types of cancer, heart failure,cronic kidney etc. All the disease require special care. The word euthanasia, originated in Greece means a good death. Euthanasia encompasses various dimensions, from active (introducing something to cause death) to passive (withholding treatment or supportive measures); voluntary (consent) to involuntary (consent from guardian) and physician assisted (where physician's prescribe the medicine and patient or the third party administers the medication to cause death). Modern medical equipment, is expected to treat pain for patients that can be mitigated.
A patient's life can be extended for a certain time, using certain drugs and tools. The term etymologi cally Euthanasia, comes from the greek word eu and thanatos, which means "die good" or "die in state calm or happy. Euthanasia can also be defined as an act of ending and individuals's life not painful, when that action can be said as an aid to alleviate the suffering of the individual who will end his life, Euthanasia shows energy medical to help patients to die well, without great suffering.
Some formulations about Euthanasia include the following:
1.Philo:
"Euthanasia means to die calmly and well"
2. Suetonis:
"Euthanasia means to die quickly without suffering"
3.Hilman:
"Euthanasi means murder without suffering"
4.
Gezondheidsraad Netherlands: Euthanasia is an act that intentionally shortens
life or intentionally does not do to prolong life in the interest of the
patient by a doctor or his subordinate who is responsible for him.
5. Van Hattum:
"Euthanasia is the attitude of accelerating the process of death in people
who cannot be cured by doing or not taking a medical action, with the intention
of helping the victim avoid suffering in the face of his death and to help his
family avoid seeing suffering victim in the face of his death
In my opinion if we want to do Euthanasia in people, we have to pay attention to a few things among other is we have to look at the patient's condition and we done the maximum care to patients. If we already do the best care for patients but we can't see the progress of their health, we can give the final decilion to the patients familly. Life and death is rights everyone, as health workes we must strive recovery of patients. life and death are the provisions of God, as a human we must try first. Euthanasia untill now very interesting to discuss, because thats issue still a debate.
