ACTIVE EUTHANASIA
Personally I feel active euthanasia is ethically permissible if and only if four rules are followed. These guidelines consist of patients having a terminal condition, a condition with merciless suffering needs to be present, the patient must also look at alternatives to active euthanasia, and finally there must be a written agreement between the doctor and the patient. ... Jack Kevorkian performed active euthanasia on Tom Youk. ... Youk having the terminal illness and suffering psychologically should have the option to undergo active euthanasia, and should have the decision on how to end one’s own life. ... He performed the entire task and completed each and every situation, which I feel ethically, permits active euthanasia.
