Abstract

Ethics of Euthanasia that can be separated on three major bases: the philosophical, the moral, and the legal base. Philosophical bases of euthanasia In the philosophical aspects of euthanasia we must first understand the importance of the sanctity of life. As R. Dworkin, claims that human life is sacred because on the one hand religious traditions believe that God made humankind in His own image, and that each individual human being is a representation of the Creator. On the other hand the idea that human beings are something special among the whole creation explains why it is horrible that even a single human individual life should be extinguished.
