Abortion and Euthanasia - Is it morally right for society?

Euthanasia is a practice of ending life in order to relieve a person from pain and suffering. Both abortion and euthanasia are done on the consent of the person who wants to do it.

For
- Euthanasia is for ill patients who are suffering from severe disease causing them tremendous pain. This relieves them from the unbearable pain.
- People who wish euthanasia choose that option on their own. If the person knows that his/her disease is incurable then it is better for him to take that decision instead of bearing the pain and dying a slow death. Whereas in the case of abortion if mother chooses not to have a baby then that is her personal decision.
- Sometimes people cannot afford the expensive bills of hospitals for the treatment of dreaded diseases and find it easier way to take euthanasia and end their lives.
The same state applies in the case of abortion if a person knows that she is not financially sound in that case she chooses to abort her baby.
- If a female is expecting a baby out of wed lock (specially in Indian society) owing to an abusement, the option of abortion lets her save her coming life.

Against
- God has given us a beautiful life and only he has the power to take it and not any body else.
- Abortion and Euthanasia both are not morally right for the society as these means can be misused by any person.
- If strict laws are not made then it may be harmful for the human race in the long run.
- Female foetecide - aborting female foetus is disturbing the male-female ratio of the nature badly.
- Many a times, the relatives of a patient may push him to ask for euthanasia for their personal motives.

Euthanasia and abortion if used sensibly can save a lot of problems and pain, however, it is a matter of taking someone's life. If we can't give life to anyone, we obviously do not have any right to take it.
