Euthanasia
• Euthanasia comes from the Greek words: Eu (good) and
Thanatosis (death) and it means "Good Death, "Gentle and
Easy Death." This word has come to be used for "mercy
killing.
• It is the act or practice of ending a life of a person either by
a lethal injection or suspension of medical treatment.
• The word "euthanasia" was first used in a medical context
by Francis Bacon in the 17th century, to refer to an easy,
painless, happy death, during which it was a "physician's
responsibility to alleviate the 'physical sufferings' of the
body
 It is believed that euthanasia
started in ancient Greece and
Rome around the fifth century
B.C.
 1478-1535: Sir Thomas More is
often quoted as being the first
prominent Christian to
recommend euthanasia in his
book Utopia, where the Utopian
priests encourage euthanasia
when a patient was terminally ill
and suffering pain
• 1994: Netherlands it is the first country where euthanasia
has been allowed.
• In Europe, Euthanasia is only legal in the Netherlands and
Belgium, provided certain conditions are met.
• For example, the patient’s request must be voluntary and
well considered; the patient must be suffering unbearable
physical or mental suffering, with no prospect of relief
the patient must be informed about their situation and
prospects; at least one other, independent, doctor must
be consulted.
• In Japan : Only " passive " euthanasia is permitted for
patients who have been in a Coma for more than 3
months.

• 1-Gloria Taylor:
(1948 - October 4, 2012)
• Taylor was a postal worker, residential care worker,
motorbike enthusiast and health advocate. She was
born and raised in Castlegar, British Columbia,
Canada.
• Taylor began to experience the early symptoms
of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known
as Lou Gehrig's disease in 2003.
A neurologist diagnosed her with the disease in
2009.
• On June 29,2011 Gloria filed an application with
The Supreme Court Of British Columbia to be
added as a plaintiff in the BC Civil Liberties'’
Association (BCCLA) death with dignity lawsuit.
• The BCCLA had filed the lawsuit in April 2011 to
challenge the laws that make it a criminal offense to
assist seriously incurably ill individuals to die with
dignity. The legal challenge seeks to allow seriously
and incurably ill, mentally competent adults the right
to receive medical assistance to hasten death under
certain specific safeguards
• Gloria Taylor, told reporters in Vancouver she
doesn't want to die, but she also doesn't want to die
an agonizing and horrible death. She also says she's
fighting so that all the people of Canada will have
the choice in the way they want to die.
• Taylor had won a constitutional exemption at a lower
court for a medically assisted death in 2012, but that
decision was overturned in subsequent appeals
• On October 4, 2012, Taylor died as a result of a severe
infection resulting from a perforated colon.
• Due to the acute nature and brief course of her illness
from the infection, Taylor did not need to seek the
assistance of a physician to end her life.
• In the end, Gloria’s death was quick and peaceful. Taylor
died in hospital, with her mother and a close friend by
her side.
• The B.C. Civil Liberties Association will be continuing
with the death with dignity lawsuit, fighting to protect
Taylor’s victory against government appeals.
• 2-Craig Ewert:
• Craig Ewert 59, was a retired college professor who was
diagnosed with motor neuron disease (MND), a
neurodegenerative kind that affects the nervous system
and could lead to difficulty in gripping, walking,
swallowing, speaking and breathing.
• He decided to end his life rather than spend the rest of
his life in a “living tomb” ,Since euthanasia is still illegal
in Britain, he traveled to Switzerland to die assisted by
the Diginitas clinic in Zurich in September 2006.
• He was already 5 months paralyzed prior to his televised
death, his last moments was shown on the Sky Real
Lives Channel live, he first said goodbye to his wife,
drank the poison, asked for an apple juice, requested for
Beethoven’s symphony no.9, said thank you, and died
peacefully.
3- Frank Van Den Bleeken:
• Frank Van Den Bleeken was a Belgian convicted of serial murder
and rape who has been imprisoned for almost three decades. He was
temporarily released and convict other brutal convictions.
• He sought the right to die because he was "suffering unbearably"
from his psychiatric condition
• Unable to control his urges, the convict had no prospect of living in
freedom.
• "He has clearly said that he didn't want to leave prison because he
didn't want to risk creating further victims," he said. Seeing himself
as a danger to society, he could "no longer live like that", his lawyer
said.
• After doctors agreed that his psychological condition is incurable,
Belgium's justice minister approved his transfer to a hospital where
doctors will end his life on January 11, 2015.
• But on January 6, the justice minister announced that Van Den
Bleekin’s “right to die” was withdrawn by his doctors. He was
instead transferred to a psychiatric prison ward.
