Abstract
"At the outset my paper is intended to discuss the concept of ‘Euthanasia’ especially in the light of ‘beneficence’. The concept of benefit or beneficence here is to unpack the act of doing good or to benefit others. The act of doing good is to flesh out the underlying concept of not doing harm to the patients throughout their treatment time. The term ‘benefit’ mentioned in my paper attempts to espouse the important concepts in the field of medical ethics and envisages the rules and principles followed according to the prescribed duty of the physician. Benefit of the patient is one of the moral maxims that have to be followed right from the maxims of the Hippocratic Oath which is an imperative in the field of medical profession. "
