After Colombia, Cuba became the second country in Latin America and the Caribbean to allow suicide with the help of "euthanasia" doctors.


Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to Reuters, Cuba's National Assembly says it approved the measure as part of a law to update the country's legal framework for a universal and free health care system.
 
Euthanasia, or physician-assisted suicide, which is opposed by most religions, has so far been allowed in only a handful of countries, and most countries equate it with murder.
 
In countries where this type of death is considered legal, most people with the characteristics of terminal patients or people who suffer from a serious mental illness (major depressive disorder, etc.) and with their consent, ask people such as treating doctors or nurses to Help in death.
 
Switzerland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Canada, Australia, Spain, Germany, New Zealand and some American states have allowed euthanasia, and in some of these countries, suicide with the help of a doctor is also allowed in cases where a person is suffering a lot but is not terminally ill.
 
The common opinion of many different nations and religions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, is that life is a gift from God and you should try to protect it with all your might, and illness and its hardships are also a part of human life and destiny, which must be passed naturally.
 
From the point of view of Islam, if the patient is religious and a believer, enduring pain and suffering and being patient with it will lead to the forgiveness of sins and self-cultivation and reduction of punishment or increase in ranks and attaining greater rewards in the hereafter, and if he is not a believer, how much pain And suffering will make him regret his past behavior and life and repent and leave the world with faith.
 
In addition to the opposition of religions to euthanasia, other opponents of this type of death say that by promoting euthanasia, the motivation to treat certain diseases will be lost and the progress of medical science will be prevented, and the care of the elderly is considered unjustified for people and their relatives, and most importantly , the patient's trust in the doctor will be lost due to the patient's fear of stopping the treatment by the doctor and performing euthanasia; Therefore, it is no longer possible to go to hospitals with peace of mind.
