This paper provides a comprehensive exploration of euthanasia, advocating for its legalization by analyzing ethical theories, legal frameworks, and humanitarian considerations. Beginning with an introduction to euthanasia, it defines its types. It contrasts euthanasia with assisted suicide and delves into ethical perspectives, covering autonomy, beneficence, non- maleficence and justice. Legal frameworks and international perspectives on euthanasia are examined, along with challenges in legalization. Patient and physician viewpoints are elucidated. Ethical dilemmas, resolutions, and the repercussions on the healthcare system and society are also addressed, culminating in a supportive conclusion for euthanasia.
Key words: Assisted suicide, autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, double effect, terminally ill.
