“I think those who have a terminal illness and are in great pain should have the right to choose to end their own life, and those that help them should be free from prosecution.”
--Stephen Hawking
Survival is valuable and there is no doubt obviously but sometimes and in certain conditions life becomes painful, in that stage surveillance seems, like a curse. Every human being desires to live and enjoy the life till his last breath. But sometimes a human being wishes to end his life in the manner he chooses. In recent times, the concept of Euthanasia has become increasingly under the spotlight due to the ongoing technological advancement in science and of medicine. There are several other compounding factors making the issue of Euthanasia a crucial problem for contemporary society. Right to life is one of the basic Human Rights. It starts from the time of conception in the very first day till death of the individual. It means not only living with dignity, but also dying with dignity. . If there is no hope for survival, the victims are kept artificially alive at least for some days, months or years by being put under the ventilators or life support systems. When life becomes a burden and causes an unbearable pain then arises a situation to choose whether to live or to die.
