TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Euthanasia in Iranian criminal system JO - Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology A1 - Noori, F. SP - 2182 EP - 2184 VL - 7 IS - 11 N2 - Mercy killing, euthanasia or killing a person who is terminally ill is not an allowable murder and all kinds of direct killings are in a sense of willful murder. Indirect mercy killing is considered as assisted suicide. According to Iranian criminal system, mercy killing is not allowable because human is a creature superior to an animal and will experience the result of their acts in the eternal world. A lot of efforts are done in many countries for the legalization of euthanasia or mercy killing. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2014.
