Non-Voluntary Active EuthanasiaNameInstitutional AffiliationNon-Voluntary Active EuthanasiaIs non-voluntary active euthanasia the only way to relieve an excruciating condition or pain?Introduction:Euthanasia, for the longest time, has been subjected to moral discussions in the modern world. Hudson et al. (2015) argue that it is an act of ending a person’s life without pain, for reasons about mercy. It is typically done in situations where an individual is hopelessly injured or sick. Euthanasia may seem morally right from this decision. However, it causes much controversy and debates in the world. The practice of euthanasia has evolved into different categories such as non-voluntary active euthanasia, an active euthanasia which occurs when the patient is unable to communicate their wishes. A loved one thereby makes a decision on their behalf. Advocates of legalizing euthanasia argue that they prefer voluntary euthanasia to the non-voluntary one since they are against taking a person’s life without their consent. Non-voluntary active euthanasia is increasingly becoming common in the world amidst the controversies and criticism. Many argue that it is morally right as long as there is no malice or malevolence involved during decision-making.Position Statement:Euthanasia is morally acceptable be it non-voluntary active euthanasia
