Euthanasia

People say that God has given us life and that he is the only one who should be able to take it away. After researching for this essay, I found out that many points were come across to euthanasia and who has the right to own life. One is that God has given you the "gift of life" and really a gift is something with no strings or attachments so technically you should have the right to do what you want. Also if God were really as compassionate as they say He is, He would not want to see anyone in the amount of pain someone is in. So, that's why euthanasia should be legalized, so that we wouldn't have to feel the pain that others have gone through.

Euthanasia is the practice of mercifully ending a person's life in order to release the person from an incurable disease, intolerable suffering, or undignified death. The word euthanasia derives from the Greek for "good death" and originally referred to intentional mercy killing. When medical advances made prolonging the lives of dying or comatose patients possible, the term euthanasia was also applied to a lack of action to prevent death (Encarta encyclopedia). Life is not always a blessing to everyone. Some people who are terminally ill suffer every minute of their lives. For them life i


I do not understand why almost everyone says that they are against euthanasia. It's not like if you legalize it everyone is going to get killed at a steady rate will go up. In hospitals the person cannot be saved and the family says it's ok to take that person off of the machines. That is the same thing but a person can't decide for himself or herself. Dr. Kavorkian was taping videotapes of his patients saying that they wanted to die. So if that is the case, than why was he arrested? We do not think it is morally wrong to put an animal to sleep if it is sick or is going to die, but why do we think it is wrong for a person? There is no difference, suicide is legal because they wanted to lower the suicide rate, which it did in a sense, so why not make euthanasia legal, it might just take the same route and the euthanasia death rate might just lower, too. Even when a person is deadly or ill, and want to be put to sleep, they cannot do it, so to get around it they have to find some other ways of doing so.

We all remember the ones we love by the lessons they have taught us, little things often remember our family or friends by the way they smelled in the morning, and often we remember them the best, and when imagine how they enjoyed all of lifes pleasures. When someone we know becomes ill, and we know the road ahead of them will be long and horrible, we pray to God for the best answers, we ask him what we should do as caring sons, brothers, uncles, and fathers. We never get an answer, well at least not the one we are always expecting.

The public opinion poll over euthanasia says that 57% are in favor, 35% are opposed in the US (CNN/USA Today poll of 1997-JUN). An earlier Gallup Poll taken in 1966-MAY showed 75% support it. In Canada, 76% are in favor (Gallup Canada Poll, 1995). Therefore, if the majority of people are in favor, why not legalize euthanasia?

Moreover, there are five individually necessary conditions for candidacy for voluntary euthanasia. Advocates of voluntary euthanasia contend that if a person is: a) suffering from a terminal illness; b) unlikely to benefit from the discovery of a cure for that illness during what remains of her life expectancy; c) as a direct result of the illness, either suffering intolerable pain, or only has
