Euthanasia8
It's been years now since the hospital said that your dad had a terminal disease. The health administration hasn't found a cure for it and probably won't for years to come. You hate to see your dad like this. All he can do is lay in bed, useless to the world he once helped, and wait to die. This story is sadly what some people face today. There are people who get terminal illnesses but never get cured of them and never die of them. These people almost always live painful lives doing nothing, just waiting to die. Assisted suicide is a perfect solution to some people's problems. The opposing view is that people have no right to end anyone's life at any point in time throughout life. According to Jonathan Gould and Lord Craigmyle, "...euthanasia means the painless killing of men and women to end their sufferings"(15). Why do so many people condone euthanasia when it is almost every mans dream? If you consider the facts, everybody would like a painless death. I don't know many people that would like a long and painful death. People would like to die easily or in their sleep. People expect their doctor to relieve them of pain when they are sick. Infact, humans even feel that their animals should be put to death if they
What does this tell you? "... infant euthanasia is justified for those infants who will never be able to live fully human lives because of their handicaps," said Jenelle Rohr on page 89. If this was your child that what would you do? Think about it this way. You are eighty-seven years old; you have been suffering from a terminal illness since you were eighty-four years old. From this illness you get shooting pain up through your spine and into your head whenever you move your back, you can't walk anymore, and you can hardly talk. This disease is slowly eating away at your brain cells. Doctors haven't found a cure for your disease, infact half of them have never even heard of it. They predict that you will never die from it. You'll just become brain dead. How would you feel? Would you consider euthanasia as one of your choices? How do you think your family would feel? These are all the things you should consider when thinking about euthanasia. If you are against euthanasia then you could be putting people throughout the world through pain and suffering that they do not deserve. If you cared about a family member enough would you let them chose euthanasia? If you said no, you are foolish. If you really cared about that family member and they were struggling so much that they wanted to end this suffering you would at least consider it. Not only is that persons life their own life, but it is also not your choice how they should live it.
