Detailed explanation-1: -What is euthanasia? Euthanasia is the practice of ending the life of a patient to limit the patient’s suffering. The patient in question would typically be terminally ill or experiencing great pain and suffering. The word “euthanasia” itself comes from the Greek words “eu” (good) and “thanatos” (death).
Detailed explanation-2: -Morally, since it infringes on a patient’s right to life, involun-tary mercy killing is never justified. However, it may not be op-posed to the virtue of justice if a moral agent induces death at the request of a competent patient.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Following the recent revival of virtue ethics, a number of ethicists have discussed the moral problems surrounding euthanasia by drawing on concepts such as compassion, benevolence, death with dignity, mercy, and by inquiring whether euthanasia is compatible with human flourishing.
