Indledning
The term euthanasia is used when describing the termination of a very sick individual's life to relieve them of their suffering.
When a person undergoes euthanasia, it is typically because they are experiencing immense irreversible pain due to their condition.
In most cases euthanasia is carried out by the assistance of a doctor at the person's request however, there are also times where the person may be too ill to decide, and the decision is carried out by relatives, doctors or as we have seen in recent times, by courts. Euthanasia stems from the Greek word "Euthanatos" which translates to an easy death.

Uddrag
Whose Life is it anyway is a play by Brian Clark which premiered in 1978 at the Mermaid Theatre in London. Whose Life is it anyway is a play about Ken Harrison, a former professional teacher and sculptor whose spinal cord has been badly injured in a car accident.
In the play, Ken is paralysed from neck and down and he is being kept alive by the medical equipment and the staff at the hospital.
Though Ken does not wish to be kept alive and this is the core of the play which is about his changed life, his determination to decide his own fate and the determination of those who cares for him to keep him breathing.
