Euthanasia 4
You are on your way home from work and suddenly a car swerves out of control and slams into the side of your car, leaving you paralyzed. So now what? There are only two things that are certain in this life, Everyone is born and everyone will die. I am going to discuss the latter. Death could strike anyone at any time. You need to be aware of your options so that if and when you are left to deal with the choices of death you can have your mind made up ahead of time. There have been many cases where patients have been diagnosed as terminally ill and have lived, I am sure that you have heard of these cases occurring or may have experienced them in your personal associations. Perhaps the most famous case is that of Karen Ann Quinlian. Karen, 22 years old, fell into a coma after using the bad combination of alcohol and tranquilizers. Her parents went before the courts and convinced them to take Karen off life support. Although Karen never regained consciousness, she lived nine years after being taken off life support. This case is significant because in 1975 this was the first case ever that allowed the removal of life support, thus opening the doors for the controversy of euthanasia. It is also an argument aga
In the 1990s, people are saying "You can do it, don't give up," and "Live your dreams to the fullest." By making euthanasia legal people will give hope up all too early on ever reaching their goals or dreams, they would rather give up on life when it becomes very difficult to live in which with a little effort, their dreams could be made a reality. inst euthanasia because of the fact that she was diagnosed and was said to die immediately if taken off life support. She did not. Doctor assisted euthanasia are unethical, illegal, and results in unnecessary death of patients. What about malformed babies, mentally handicapped, or the incurable insane? Doctor Jack Kevorklan and his suicide machine are perhaps the most famous in the euthanasia movement, Is the euthanasia movement growing? Yes, the Scots showed that 81 % believe in euthanasia, and the movement is growing quickly internationally. With the Right to Die societies growing it is not hard to see why. The first case of active euthanasia was that of Adolf Hitler. In 1930 the Nazis gained control of German Politics. Adolf Hitler wanted to create a society above all the other societies of the world, in what he called, "The Perfect Race." He then proceeded with the extermination of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and people with mental or physical impairments that could not help the Reich. Whereas today, parents want their children who have disabilities to be killed by euthanasia so that they don't have to grow up in this "cruel world." If that is the case then we should have let Adolf Hitler keep his control in Germany in the 1930s. Time hasn't changed, society has. I think that Pieter Admirral was right when he said we don't give enough attention to those with advanced illnesses or impairments such as aids or handicaps. Instead of euthanating them we should try to learn from these people. Today in the United States alone, one in four nurses openly admits performing in some form of euthanasia. "Money--not compassion--is the driving force behind euthanasia
