Ethics

It is the Right to live or Die

Introduction

Is it right to live or die; one of an important yet interesting statement that emphasis on two main as well as broad perspectives. As a matter of fact most of the people are not aware from the facts that deciding whether to live or die is all about faith and this is something very much interesting as well. Therefore one can not decide whether to live or die and no one can decide the same thing for any other person as well.

This is termed as ethical in health perspective and therefore this is an important phenomenon as well (Battin, et.al, 1998).

Hypothesis

This paper shed light on some various as well as important issues and some hypothesis have been thus derived as well.

H1: Physicians assist patients to go for the option of death - unethical in the field of health

H2: Physicians assist their patients and teach them how to live when overburdened by problems as well - ethical in the field of health
