Euthanasia is a controversial subject, not only because there are many moral dilemmas associated with it, but also in what constitutes its definition. At the extreme ends of disagreement, some school of thoughts are of the opinion that euthanasia, also known as physician assisted suicide or physician aid in dying, is a meriful act of dying.
