Summary/Abstract: This article examines the sociological implications of euthanasia as an antisocial behavior that undermines human dignity and spiritual values. It explores the erosion of traditional beliefs surrounding death, the transformation of individual identity, and the consequent effects on familial roles and societal structures. By addressing key issues such as the manipulation of patient consciousness and the broader societal trends towards self-destruction, the article calls into question the ethical dimensions of euthanasia and its impact on community bonds and responsibilities. Ultimately, it posits that the acceptance of euthanasia reflects a profound loss of faith in divine providence and the sacredness of life.
