MAIN BODY In the United Kingdom, law of euthanasia has no special legal position. It is an act of deliberately ending a life of person. According to the constitution of UK both euthanasia and assisted suicide are illegal (Shekhawat and et.al., 2017). There are some basic differences in between assisted dying and euthanasia suicide as in the law of assisted dying gives permission which allow human to die as their own wish while in euthanasia is deliberately killing someone for some reasons. The law of euthanasia is not good as no one has the right to kill anybody. There are mainly two types of euthanasia which are voluntary euthanasia and non-voluntary euthanasia. In voluntary euthanasia, person makes decision of dying and he needs help whereas, in non-voluntary euthanasia, person is unable to give his/her consent to treatment. For example: when a person reaches at the last stage of coma, in that situation, another person takes decision on his own behalf like member of family. There are many people who think that this law violated the value of life of human being but many people like doctors said that there are some conditions arise when it is necessary to kill the person. As per the data of Freedom of Information Act, there is 7% of people die with their own wish because of no hope of recovery. This law allows doctor to kill the patients by the request of family member or patients himself (Paterson, 2017). Doctors or any other person who is going to kill anybody, must take suggestion for doing this. The law of euthanasia shows weak and poor society. Assisting Suicide is crime in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and there is 14 years of jail if any person done assisting suicide. It was find from the record that about 350 Britons has done assisting suicide in Switzerland. In UK is nit moving great speed towards enacting the law of assisted dying. 1
