II.   Life

Termination in the context of Bioethics is the unnatural ending of the life of an organism.

The term termination is derived from the Latin terminus meaning “to limit, end”.

There are three (3) forms of termination being voluntary, involuntary and non-voluntary:

(i) Voluntary Termination, also known as Voluntary Euthanasia and Mercy Suicide, also known as “assisted suicide” is the termination of the life of an organism with their explicit consent; and

(ii) Involuntary Termination is the termination of the life of an organism without their explicit and informed consent; and

(iii) Non-Voluntary Termination, is the termination of the life of an organism when explicit consent is unavailable.

The Government of a Society including any appointed administrators are forbidden from decisions, orders and actions involving the willful termination of the life of a Homo Sapien.

The involuntary termination of the life of an organism is called “murder”, from the 1st millennium BCE ancient Gaelic phrase mur+der as mur/ma meaning “not/without” and der/deo meaning “breath, breath of life”.

The involuntary termination of the life of a Homo Sapien is called “homicide” from the ancient Latin homicidium from Homo meaning “man” and cidium meaning “act of killing”.

No Homo Sapien is permitted to cause the indirect or direct involuntary termination of another member of the species.

All corporations, trusts, entities or persons including any appointed administrators are forbidden from decisions, orders and actions involving the willful termination of the life of a Homo Sapien.
