Euthanasia

       Euthanasia is the deliberate killing of a person for the benefit of that person. In most cases euthanasia is carried out because the person who dies asks for it, but there are cases called euthanasia where a person can’t make such a request. A person who undergoes euthanasia is usually terminally ill, but there are other situations in which some people want euthanasia.  Euthanasia would be rash to make a regulation as a right. Especially Korean society don’t have appropriate environment to operate euthanasia. Korean medical reality was very inferior compared to other advanced countries like Netherlands. In case of Netherlands medical expense which dying person should pay is quite low, however Korea ‘s medical expense which dying person should pay  occupies 30 percent of total medical expense.  Although euthanasia wears voluntary-control, it could use invisible enforcement to patients. On the other hand euthanasia of Netherlands could accept as a voluntary decision due to low medical expense. Euthanasia is not able to exist in financial burden facing patients.

We should think that a tragic death is not death containing extreme ill but death losing own existence, because human is a existence which make meaning, when meaning can not be endowed our, we lose value of existence. Human become to think own existence following other people’s treatment. Actually death is a natural part of human, so all of existence which have life cannot but die. Human have made death and ill which are a natural part of human as a unnatural object of overcome.
