Q. If the patient cna't decide for themselves whether to die or not, who should have the right or the responsibility to do it for them : the spouse, the parents, the children, the siblings, the ex-spouse, the boyfriend/girlfriend or life-partner, the doctors, the courts, or the State?
In my opinion, it is dependent on the decision of the doctors and laws whether or not of the euthanasia. The reason is that the doctors have ability to diagnose about patient's condition. According to their reasonable diagnosis, it can make an important effect whether the law accept the euthanasia or not. The law regulate the standard judgement of the euthanasia. People who engaged in law are have a rationality. They legislate the law based on only stastics and report. If their family or spouse of the patient decide the euthanasia, they will feel guilty and this memory will remain in their head for all their life. Even if the doctors also are human and not cool-head person, they will not feel guilty as much as the family or lover of the patient. Also, they can think themselves like that they deserve to decide that based on the law and diagnosis.
