Discussion
Restate research questions
The research had discussed about the relevance of attaining Euthanasia for the person who is not
able to cure by any of the treatment. The topic is quiet sensitive and requires to attain the
responses of different individuals to gather the more generic information. The candidates also
agreed to the concept of Euthanasia to be used to provide somebody relief from the pain (Have &
Welie, 2014). The responses which had been attain by different people made understanding that
it is necessary for the government to think about the seriousness of issue and make some
significant laws. This could be determined one of the taken step of government will give
someone the relief from major disease pain (Pittaway & Niekerk, 2015).
Speculate on the reasons for the result
Life of a person is most precious think in any of the society and just to think of suicide is
challenging in the current time scenarios. While making the research and asking the questions
related to Euthanasia many of the challenges had occurred. The main issues occurred to make
people understand about the relevance and necessity of using the concept (Rogers, et. al., 2015).
The other issue was related to take their responses as people took many negative vibes from the
topic, initially that was also become hard to attain relevant point to start the discussion. These
were some of the challenge’s but while the time had passed people understood and made
responses willingly.
Implications
After implementing the research very first thing which comes into the mind is related to the
importance of life for any person. But this is also necessary to understand that either the life is
giving positive response to the person of not. This is necessary for the government to make some
changes in the ideas and theories about the importance of life which are going through from past
traditions (Mullen, 2015). This is necessary to take some strict actions which are beneficiary for
those who are facing many of the issues due to some major disease.

The hope of someone to get well is some point of trust and faith on the destiny but to accept the
reality is practical reality. This is necessary to understand the difference between both of the
scenarios and afterwards make changes (Rault, et, al., 2017). The changes need to be practical
one because the reality matters more than destiny.

Conclusion
The research had discussed about the necessity of Euthanasia in the current time of period. This
could be understanding that everybody has the right to live happily without any of the pain or
disease. The things could be changed for some of the people and they have the right to get rid of
such pain and challenging life. To clarify the responses some of the people had asked about the
relevance of concept. Many of the candidates agreed to the allowance of the idea and made given
positive responses.
