Euthanasia, a step toward death worthy (Please help me is for my english classes :D thanks!!!) If we look at history we find a pattern that is constantly repeated, the punishment. The more painful were unworthy was death and more serious the crime, an example of this is the stake, impalement and dismemberment. For this reason it is thought that in the same way it has the right to live in dignity also have died in the same condition. But the history of euthanasia begins with these facts, existed long before in Sparta when malformed children were thrown into the mount to maintain the purity and domination of race, later the Britons killed the sick without hope of cure and Hindus drowned in the river to the hopeless. All these cases were the principles of euthanasia which until then had no name defined. Currently talk of euthanasia is talking about a death without physical suffering that is raised voluntarily. The transition from life to death without suffering. The can be classified into different forms of practice, the volunteer takes into account the wishes of the patient or involuntary ignores the patient's desire because it is not in the authority to make that decision on her life. And only used under circumstances of terminal illness advanced, incurable and palliative where we avoid the suffering, pain and discomfort caused by the disease. As the case of Karen Quinlan who drive in a vegetative state since April 1975 to July 1985 that in 1941 Esposito Elaine comes into unconsciousness and died after 37 years or Ramon Sampedro in 1998 falls into paralysis after an accident and then to fight for justice for the approval of their programmed death is denied and decides to commit suicide. The words spoken before the judge, "My mind is the only part of me that's still alive and I'm a head attached to a dead body." Echoing in the ears of many people as they wanted an end to their suffering. Which brings us to a question can the man have his own life? Not sure I can answer this question only know that euthanasia is a way to die with dignity that prevents the suffering of the patient and his family.
