Should the prescription of Euthansia be allowed to continue?

Euthansia or "will killing" has been popular in recent decades mainly in the West. Euthansia has been administered to persons terminally ill in certain dieseaes where the patient has been reduced to a vegetative state because of sever injury or the patient has no hope of returning to the normal condition and death would become a pain-reliever for such person. In these cases Euthansia has been allowed to persons according to their will.

Many people have termed euthansia as a right to die. This has become prevelant in people who think there should be absolute freedom to a person who wishes to end his life because of severe pain etc. There are people who think the state or the law shouldn't interfere with this individual right. Because of the above reasons euthansia has been made legal in US and some countries like Netherlands. In these countries euthansia is administered after the consent of one physchologist and one medical practioner who are outside the purview of the case. But some people have been demanding more liberal laws which will allow people to end their life without any legal intervention.

There are some examples when people have been arrested because of unlawful action in administering euthansia. In UK a father killed his son by giving excessive dose of Heroin. As per him, his son suffered a terrible accident and received sever brain injuries which reduced his son to a vegetative state. The father thought his son's life has become a "living hell" and he could no more return to his normal condition unable to enjoy the life. So it was sensible decision to end his son's life. But since the death happened without any consent of the individual and without any legal procedure, the person was sentenced to 9 years of priosnment. But this raises the question did the person did something wrong? Is the law itslef can't allow a person to die even if wants it without having any second opinion?

In India many people are raising this debate as to whether allow euthansia in India or not. A group of these activist organized an essay competetion to be held expressing their opinion in this matter. To their surprise a significant portion of the participants had views that euthansia lacks transparency and something of a bad practice. So from this we can see there is a lack of awareness among people about euthansia and a certain degree of education is important in this regard.

I believe euthansia is a last resort to solve the problems but simulataneously a person's opinion on how his life can be treated with should be allowed and in no way be imposed by any law. We need to think this topic in its perspective as to how to benefit people who are suffering from incurable pain and allow their relatives or friends to end the person's life without any legal implications. After all its the state of pain the individual posses is the matter of debate and death followes when we run out of alternatives.
