Is Euthanasia Humane? Euthanasia, or mercy killing, is being practiced more and more in the world, which also brought up a heat- ed discussion among people, "Is euthanasia humane?" Euthanasia is a way to help hasten the death of terminally iii patients. It allows a terminally ill patient to end his misery, end the source of deep distress to his family, and end the increasing financial expenses. Death is as natural as birth and, like birth, is sometimes a hard process requiring assistance. It is unnecessary to artificially maintain life beyond the point when people can never regain consciousness. Sometimes extending an incurably iii patient’s life means the same as aggravating his pain. In this sense, euthanasia is humane. Euthanasia can end the pain of terminally iii patients and can also be a great relief to their family members, both mentally and physically. Since the nurse can only give the terminally iii patient minimum care, the family must spend endless time caring for special needs of the patients. For example, when the patient is conscious, they need to be interacting with him by talking to him. Even if the patient is in a coma, they also have to be present with the patient. So it is unbearable to expect the whole family to watch the patient lying in a hospital bed in great pain, unable to do anything for him. Lastly, medial treatment is too expensive. Statistics indicate that medical treatment for a comatose patient costs 26,000 yuan a year, a heavy burden for the hospital and the patient’s family. So euthanasia is really a humane way to end the waste of spending so much money on a patient whose condition will never improve. Of course, euthanasia should be performed only at the patient’s request, with the consent of his relatives and the signature of a lawyer. If the patient wants to die with dignity and peace, instead of agony and degradation, hospitals and family members should respect the dying person’s right in regard to choices about his death. It can be concluded that mercy killing should be carried out when the condition of the patient is critical, the patient’s family members are in mental torture, and the medical costs skyrocket.
