Hastening the death of a person by altering some form of support and letting nature take its courses is known as passive euthanasia. Examples include such things as turning off respirators, halting medications, discontinuing food and water go as to allowing a person to dehydrate or starve to death, or failure to resuscitate. passive euthanasia also includes giving a patient large doses of morphine to control pain, in spite of the likelihood that the painkiller will suppress respiration and cause death earlier than otherwise would have happened. Such doses of painkillers have a dual effect of relieving pain and hastening death. Administering such medication is regarded as ethical in most political jurisdictions and by most medical societies. These procedures are performed on terminally ill persons so that natural death will occur sooner. They are also commonly performed on persons in a persistent vegetative state; for example, individuals with massive brain damage or in a coma from which they are not likely to regain consciousness. Far more controversial, active euthanasia involves causing the death of a person through a direct action, in response to a request from that person. In so far as this suggestion may be based on the quality of life experienced by patients, this is an inadequate approach. At one extreme we may be dealing with a life that cannot be called human at all: such a being likely to live at the most for only a few hours. Many feel that during this time it ought to be given ordinary rfursing care. But it would be difficult to condemn anyone who takes the opposite view. At anything less than this extreme, the bringing to an end the life of say, a physically challenged child, by the deliberate refusal of the fullest (CBSE 2016) medical care seems morally indefensible. gal-That does the word, 'euthanasia' mean ?
