Dave Anderson's Article: The Implication Of Euthanasia

Euthanasia refers to the use of a method as opposed to help patients that suffer from acute pain, an irremediable illness or an irreversible coma. Due to the implication of euthanasia, it has captivated a lot of controversy and debate within many countries.
