The emergency of HIV/AIDS in our society has caused and continues to
cause great havoc including the terrible loss of people's right to
life.

As a matter of fact, the pandemic has interfered with an individual`s
right to life in several ways:The bitter sufferings arising from the
pandemic may lead to euthanasia. Euthanasia stands for physician
assisted suicide.

a simple piece of often brightly coloured rectangular cloth which is
wrapped round the body."
