Pls help me answer this. Thank you

Directions: Read the paragraph and analyze what kind of claim it is. Give a reason. Euthanasia, which is also known as mercy killing, is an act to end a person's life to alleviate the suffering brought about by terminal or grave illness. While it may be supported by some, euthanasia is not only an unethical medical practice, it is also a crime. After all, on the most basic level, this practice takes a life. In fact, majority of the countries in the world consider it as homicide. Aside from being a crime, euthanasia is unethical in the medical context because it violates the one of the tenets of the Physicians' Oath, namely that of "primum non Nocore" which means "first, do no harm." In the Declaration of Geneva, doctors have the responsibility of saving lives, not destroying them. In essence. Euthanasia is a violation of life, and can never be an acceptable procedure.
