Summary/Abstract: Borders right to life is difficult to determine. Part of this problem is whether or not an alleged "right to die with dignity". European countries, for example, addresses the problem differently, although all are part of the European Convention on Human Rights. Euthanasia is murder committed under the impulse of mercy to end physical torment a person suffering from an incurable disease and whose death is, therefore, inevitable. Euthanasia has existed in human history from ancient times, being tolerated or rejected, as today. The difference between euthanasia and assisted suicide is how to perform this action. In euthanasia, the doctor himself administers lethal medication. If assisted suicide patient manage their own medication recommended by your doctor.
