People who undergo euthinasia have incurable condition.in some other casess,rhey just want their lives to
end
Euthinasia is illegal in most coup in the world apart from belgium switzerland
The ethics behind euthinasatia
This topic raises alot of question such as:
*Is it very right to end the life of terminolgy patient who is undergoing severe pain an suffering
*Under what circumstances can euthinasia be justified,if at all
*is there any moral difference between killing someone and letting them die
WHY DO PEOPLE WANT EUTHINASIA
Most people think it is only because of having unbearable pain,some survey from the usa and the netherland show that less than a third of people request euthinasia because of pain
Terminally ill people can have their quality of life severly damaged by physical conditions such nausea,incontinence,breathlessness,paralysis, etc. Also phsycological factors such depression,fearing of loss of dignity,feeling of burden can make peoplethink of euthinasia.
FORMS OF EUTHINASIA
Active and passive
In active euthinasia a person directly causes death but in passive,they dont directly kill the patient but simply just allow him to die.
With active euthinasia,death is brought to you by an act but with passive euthinasia death is brought to you by an ommision. Eg,letting a person die by withdrawing or withholding treatment.
Voluntary and involutary euthinasia
Voluntary euthinasia is when euthunisia occurs at the requst of the person and involuntary is when doesnt have a descision to make a meaningful descison so its done on his behalf.

i wonder if you think there is a moral difference between active and passive euthinasia.
ReplyDeletethis is a good post linford, 100% improvement on your first.
remember you need to include sources.
"is there any moral difference between killing someone and letting them die"
ReplyDeleteI think there is, killing someone is against the person's will and letting someone die is their own choice.
Arguments for :
ReplyDeleteThe people do not harm others and death is a private latter, not a public one.
Human rights allow people to make their own decisions
People have a right to die peacefully if they are suffering.
Against :
It is not morally ethical for one to chose to end his or her life if the disease they have can be cured.
Even though people have human rights and do not harm themselves, they will harm others ( thus, their family and friends) if they decide to end their life.
Religion beliefs that the time for a person to die is in the hands of god, not of the person themselves.
I think euthanasia can be justified if a person has suffered too much and their disease is incurable, since at one point all that pain just becomes unbearable, and everything around you starts irritating you, and you no longer receive any joy from living
ReplyDeleteLinford still no sources!!!! Fix this!
ReplyDeleteJasmine what do you mean by "killing"?
Isabelle if making the decision is a matter of basic human rights why does it matter if the disease is curable or not?
By killing I mean murdering someone. Murder is against the victim's will so it is different from euthanasia.
ReplyDeleteSo euthanasia is not killing?
