Euthanasia is the intentional and painless ending of life for animals that are suffering from an incurable disease. In small animals is performed by an injection into the vein of an agent consequently ending in the death of the pet. When an animal is euthanized they become unconscious which is firstly followed by respiratory arrest and then cardiac arrest. If there are no cardiovascular defects in the animal generally within 30 seconds of unconsciousness cardiac arrest will occur. – © 2014 Veterinary Nurse Solutions Pty Ltd Version 1.1 page 140 of 155

I will never forget the first time I watched a pet euthanized. Distraught, I thought for a time I would refuse to perform euthanasia in my practice. As I took in more of the doctor-patient interactions, I realized this would not be fair. The bond between a veterinarian and a pet owner becomes very important and is needed through the animal's life. The doctor, who has been there throughout the good and difficult times, needs to be there for the owner and the pet when the only choice left is to end the suffering of the animal.
My dog Lucy, my best friend, ever since I came home 16 years ago, laid by our fireplace taking in shallow and ragged breaths. She could barely raise her head or give a tiny wag of her tail as we walked past to acknowledge our presence. Her quality of life had been deteriorating rapidly for a little over a week and hard choices were going to need to be made. Lucy would likely die within the next few days, but it was not a certain thing. How much pain was she in that we could not see? Euthanizing would save her from possible pain and suffering that would incur as a result of waiting for her natural death , but was it really that simple of a decision? No, no it was not; we were choosing if our dog lived or died and that decision should not
Also communication in this situation will give the client a feeling that they are in safe hands and that the veterinarian knows what they are doing when is comes to making the last parts of their pets life as smooth as possible. Giving clients plenty
The type of euthanasia that will be discussed is voluntary euthanasia and there are several areas which must be covered before coming to a conclusion as to whether this should be carried out. The first I'll mention is 'personhood'. This is the essence of someone which makes them a person, distinguishing between us and the animals. There are several other aspects of personhood including the ability to communicate and interact with others and also
The euthanasia of animals is a very problematic social issue in the world today. Approximately there are about 7.6 million companion animals that enter animal shelters each year. Of those, about 2.7 animals are euthanized, and cats have the highest rate, according to “The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals” (2017). When you hear the term euthanasia in reference to animals, you think of a painless process that ends the countless suffering your pet had to endure over the span of their lives. There are many reasons for which these animals are “put to sleep.” When most pet owners put their pets to sleep it is because their pets have incurable disease, painful illness, behavioral problems and are of old age. When an animal is suffering and is no longer able to recover, this process may be the most humane thing to do. However, euthanasia turns into murder when perfectly healthy animals are killed. Since there is an overpopulation of animals there are many animals left on the street wandering alone. When there isn’t any room for all these new animals being brought in from off the streets, shelters have no other option, but to euthanize. Each year more and more dogs and cats are born and sent into shelters, but for every animal being born another one has to leave and once the animal leave they are most likely going to be euthanized. No matter the situation animals are losing their lives for no clear reason.

It can become a go-to option when pet owners can’t afford medical treatment. Not all families can afford expensive medical bills for their pets. Unlike human health care, there is not many financing options for pet medical care. As a result, some owners may just decide to euthanize their pets because they can’t afford to pay for veterinary treatment.1
It’s essential to understand that there are a few forms of euthanasia. The first form would be DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) which translates to letting someone die. Under this circumstance we are no further helping someone who is suffering from a serious illness for the sake of mercy. DNR is mostly legal under many circumstances such as living will. This can also entail a person to refuse any further treatment toward their ailment that keeps them alive. As a result the person will eventually pass away.
Euthanasia is the act of a physician or other third party ending a patient's life in response to severe pain and suffering. Euthanasia can be classified into three types.

The goal of this paper is to explain how modern artistic expression has been influenced by previous art epochs from history. The connection this influence plays on our modern world may help with understanding the artists message, both past and present. Whether the message was designed to elicit an emotion, excite the senses or just make you ponder the meaning of life, the artist is communicating a message. On the first night of instruction there was some lively discussion on what is or isn’t art. The takeaway, for me, was that art, in its simplest form, is the artist communicating an idea or thought. I don’t believe that has changed much over the millennium. There are five periods we are required to discuss and I have picked Classical Greek, Roman, Renaissance, 18th Century and Romanticism as my art epoch periods.
