It has been claimed that one can never look directly at the sun nor at one's own death. And yet, throughout the history of mankind, both have been the enduring themes of myth and religion, science and magic, curiosity and fear. Death the unsolved mystery falls onto every living thing on this planet. There is no way one can escape from this natural cycle of life. Death is not a decision but a fate everyone faces in reality. In order to end this life in a better way, a living will has moral good to the society but no one has the right to decide when to die or how to die. 

What is a living will? A living will is a written document in which one set out their wishes for health care in the event that, some time in the future, one is unable to consent to treatment. Living wills deal with health care. They do not deal with property or assets. If one is not competent for whatever reason one must rely on others to make decisions for them. A living will can help the decision-maker to understand ones wishes concerning their health care. It also may ease the emotional burden from family members or ones proxy if they have to make decisions about ones health. Many families consider a living will morally binding especially if one have discussed it with them beforehand.

Recently, the practice of mercy killing or known as Euthanasia has become one among the hottest debate issues around the globe. It is believed that the right to die is decided by the patient himself. Practices of Euthanasia have been legalize in a few countries but not all countries agree to the content of mercy killing. Euthanasia is performed by physician to help patients to ease the pain and suffering one is going through. It is only perform when the physician is much determined that the patient’s suffering is unbearable and without hope of remission. In addition, the patient must freely, lucidly and repeatedly express the decision to die. Then, the physician final decision can be made only after consultation with a second physician and patient’s family. 

A newborn baby is the best thing that ever happens to every new parent. It symbolizes a new life, a new hope and a new soul that has just entered into the realm of life. Life is a gift from God Himself. No one has the right to decide the time one should be dead. In the Bible, one of the Ten Commandments has stated “ Thou shall not kill”. It is a commandment for every single human being to obey. If murdering or killing someone is considered a crime, should Euthanasia not considered as a crime too? This also includes the growing numbers of the issue suicide in today’s society. The question here is who decides one’s life to come to an end? The answer I would believe is no one except God the creator of all things. On the context of a patient suffering is unbearable, physician may perform mercy killing is not logical. How much is unbearable? Human beings can never put themselves in another state of another person. What one feels is not exactly what another feels. So, how could a physician feel the condition of pain and suffering that the patient is going through. After all, how much is suffering really considered has not been define precisely by anyone. How could a patient freely, lucidly and repeatedly expresses to die? In this case, the possibility is that the patient maybe must have being in the state of mentally incapacitated.

In closing, living is not by chance or by privilege. God created everything from the stars to the moon and so did He give life. It is logical to believe that He has the right to put an end to everyone’s life, as he is the creator. He holds the key to every single soul in life. Life and death, the difference is a lot!
