Euthanasia (which comes from the Greek words for ―good death‖) may be defined as action which accelerates the death of patient with an incurable, terminal illness in order to alleviate the patient‘s suffering and pain. The decision-making process pertaining to terminally ill patients is among the most prominent and long-standing problems in medicine. It is influenced by religious, ethical, and cultural values. The issue concerns not only the patient, but also the patient‘s family and the medical staff. Unsurprisingly, there have been extensive ongoing discussions about this subject between medical staff, lawyers, religious figures, and other involved parties.
