What is Mercy Killing?

What is Mercy Killing? Что такое убийство из милосердия?

Originally Written By: Lori Smith and N. Madison

Mercy killing, also known as voluntary euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide, is essentially an act by one person that is designed to end the life of another who is suffering from extreme pain or terminally ill; who is on life support machines or who is only living with the support of ventilation or other medical interventions. It is considered a criminal homicide in most but not all places, though proponents argue that it should be treated differently than a malicious murder because, in general, it is done out of love or compassion for the person killed. The practice is highly controversial and polarizing, even in places where it is permitted by law. 

Убийство из милосердия, также известное как добровольная эвтаназия или самоубийство с помощью врача, по сути, является действием одного человека, направленным на то, чтобы положить конец жизни другого, который страдает от сильной боли или неизлечимо болен; кто находится на аппаратах жизнеобеспечения или кто живет только с поддержкой вентиляции или других медицинских вмешательств. Это считается преступным убийством в большинстве, но не во всех местах, хотя сторонники утверждают, что к нему следует относиться иначе, чем к злонамеренному убийству, потому что, как правило, оно совершается из любви или сострадания к убитому. Эта практика весьма противоречива и противоречива даже там, где она разрешена законом.

There are a couple of different ways people help others die, but lethal drug overdoses are some of the most common. In these cases doctors prescribe drugs in strengths and combinations that are designed to quickly and peacefully end someone’s life. People who are able can self-administer these drugs, usually by swallowing them, or they may have them injected intravenously, too. 

Есть несколько разных способов, которыми люди помогают другим умереть, но смертельные передозировки наркотиков являются одними из самых распространенных. В этих случаях врачи назначают препараты в дозах и комбинациях, которые предназначены для быстрого и мирного прекращения чьей-либо жизни. Люди, которые в состоянии, могут сами принимать эти препараты, обычно проглатывая их, или они также могут вводить их внутривенно.

1. The idea behind mercy killing is to allow a person to die if they just don’t want to live any more. false

3. There are no arguments against assisted suicide. false.

1. Mercy killing is often used to put an end to 1. suffering from which the patient has little-to-no hope of recovering. 

2. Euthanasia can be carried out either by doing something, such as making 2. lethal injection , or by not doing something necessary to keep the person alive. 

3. Euthanasia is the termination of a very sick person's life in order to relieve them of their 3. painful condition. 

1. The most typical forms of euthanasia are lethal drug overdoses, remove life support mechanisms. 

2. There are two ways to self-administer lethal drugs by swallowing them or they may have them injected intravenously, too.

3. People who are against euthanasia state that say it is against God; others claim it is outright murder.

1. What conditions are considered sufficient to apply euthanasia?

Conditions are considered sufficient to apply euthanasiais for people are suffering from extreme pain or terminally ill; who is on life support machines or who is only living with the support of ventilation or other medical interventions.

2. What are the ways of committing an assisted suicide? 

the ways of committing an assisted suicide are making lethal injection , or by not doing something necessary to keep the person alive.

3. What are the arguments for mercy killing?

Every person has a right to end his life if he is in severe pain or unable to experience a reasonable quality of life. Some even call it cruel to force a person to live the rest of his days in pain or unable to move or function.

Today—because experiments on animals are cruel, time-consuming, and generally inapplicable to humans—the world’s most forward-thinking scientists are developing and using animal-free methods that are actually relevant to human health for studying diseases and testing products. These alternatives to animal testing include sophisticated tests using human cells and tissues (also known as in vitro methods), advanced computer-modeling techniques (often referred to as in silico models), and studies with human volunteers. 

Researchers have created “organs-on-chips” that contain human cells grown in a state-of-the-art system to mimic the structure and function of human organs and organ systems. The chips can be used instead of animals in disease research, drug testing, and toxicity testing and have been shown to replicate human physiology, diseases, and drug responses more accurately than crude animal experiments do. A variety of cell-based tests and tissue models can be used to assess the safety of drugs, chemicals, cosmetics, and consumer products. Researchers developed tests that use human blood cells to detect contaminants in drugs that cause a potentially dangerous fever response when they enter the body.

Researchers have developed a wide range of sophisticated computer models that simulate human biology and the progression of developing diseases. Studies show that these models can accurately predict the ways that new drugs will react in the human body and replace the use of animals in exploratory research and many standard drug tests.
