Abstract
"Whenever euthanasia is discussed, its proponents claim that they are merely upholding the “right to die” and “death with dignity.” Euthanasia is the conscious hastening of the death of a person, either by act or omission, on compassionate grounds. Euthanasia is most often considered for those who are in great pain or terminally ill or who face the prospect of long-term disability. The thesis of this paper is that such persons do not need “help” in dying; they need support to live in the face of suffering."
