1. Euthanasia is...?
Euthanasia is killing people with the motivation of goodness and mercy. As originated in Greek, this word means beautiful and dignitary death. But we need to think hard if euthanasia really brings human being dignitary death. Up to now, the place that allows euthanasia is Holland and Oregon State in New York. Northern Territory, which is the first place that had enforced legalization law of euthanasia, abrogated the law in 1997. But, most countries in the world are still passionate argue.

2. Arguments for and against voluntary euthanasia
Since World War II, the debate over euthanasia in Western countries has centered on voluntary euthanasia (VE) within regulated health care systems. In some cases, judicial decisions, legislation, and regulations have made VE an explicit option for patients and their guardians.

3. Netizens Plea for Pardon on Mercy-Killing Man
Netizens are holding an online campaign calling for the pardon of a father who decided to allow his sick son to die. Gwangju District Public Prosecutors' Office last month indicted 51-year-old Yoon without detention on the charge of murder. He had asked doctors to remove an artificial respirator from his brain dead son and took him home to let him die on Aug. 8.

One hundred residents of Damyang, South Jeolla Province, where Yoon and his sons lived, filed a petition for pardon with the prosecution saying that he had very good reasons to commit the crime. Yoon divorced his wife 20 years ago and has been looking after his two sons, who were both suffering from muscular dystrophy, alone.

Following the news reports, many people have pleaded for mercy on the father's behalf. Also, questions over the banning of euthanasia surfaced. A netizen with the ID ``serendipity'' initiated the campaign asking for others to sign on and plead for mercy at the Internet portal Daum's Agora section.
