The existence of a right to die via euthanasia, also known as mercy killing and assisted suicide, is a question that crosses geographical boundaries and legal systems. Globally, prevalent jurisprudences prohibit and criminalizes assisted suicide and euthanasia. However, due to improvements in medical technology that have significantly increased our capacity to sustain and lengthen human life well beyond what was previously attained, along with a corresponding expansion of human rights law, many nations, including Belgium, the Netherlands, etc., have legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide. As a matter of fact, Switzerland was the first Country in the world to legalize assisted suicide in 1941. The right to life is unquestionably recognized on universally. The core issue in the ongoing discussion over euthanasia is whether or not there is a countervailing argument.
