obligations and personal obligations.

Performing euthanasia is therefore viewed as damage to the professional image. The topic of euthanasia involves a collision between the national obligations and personal obligations. This is because the physician has national requirements to support life while else there is a personal obligation while dealing with families or patients who requires euthanasia.

American Counseling Association has addressed the issue of euthanasia explicitly. In their professional code of ethics, the body believes that performing euthanasia would result in a lot of ethical questions (Finlay, 2019). American Medical Association does not advocate for euthanasia as they think that the physicians should be in the front line to support and preserve life but not to take it away. America Nursing Association also believes that the nurses should not take part in euthanasia but should instead provide compassionate and comprehensive care until life ends. The code of ethics for most medical practitioners is against the practice of euthanasia. This is conflicting as, at some point, the practitioners are required to act in the interest of their patients.
