The Pros And Cons Of Euthanasia

Euthanasia, and a common form of euthanasia, assisted suicide, should be legal processes through which terminally-ill patients may voluntarily end his or her own life. Essentially, euthanasia is having a patient sign a waiver agreeing to allow a doctor inject them with toxic fluids that will end suffering and allow people to have a dignified quiet death. This suicidal method is meant only for patients with terminal illnesses. That is, diseases that will eventually kill you, or that cause terrific pain and suffering without killing you anytime soon.

It has the minds of society wondering if death solves some of the most extreme medical problems. If a patient finds himself or herself terminally ill and in excruciating pain, they should have the option to partake in assisted suicide to end their misery. Some insights support Euthanasia and some reject the concept. This issue is important to society because people want the right to end their lives when facing terminal, or life threatening, illnesses. In my opinion, certain forms of euthanasia should be considered legal.

Euthanasia should be legalize in the United States because it gives an alternative for people who suffer every day due to a terminal illness, but it should be the last resort a patient should take. People who are against euthanasia claim that it is unethical and morally wrong to take someone’s life away. According to the article “Active Euthanasia Is Never Morally Justified,” euthanasia is a nice word that replaces the word murder (Doug). The author claims that people will use “terminal illness” to murder people without their consent. People that are on a vegetable state and cannot depend of themselves are force to accept the decisions of others.

Some stage a very strong that attempt to justify euthanasia. They argue that it is a common practice in the US and that it serves to end a person’s suffering and save the family members a lot of emotional and financial burden. However, the cost of doing it outweighs the benefits with aver huge margin. If not well checked, many malpractices will be witnessed in this in the medical centre due to the violation of the legal and medical regulations that controls the practice. Euthanasia can occur either through the physician assisted suicide where a doctor can remove the life support equipment from the patient or give the instructions of the most efficient way of ending their life.

In active euthanasia, a physician or family member takes the life of a patient by means of lethal injection, before he or she dies of a terminal illness or injury. Currently, passive euthanasia is prohibited in most states, but not all. Whereas, active euthanasia is illegal in every state. Although many people believe that euthanasia is a way for people to die with dignity, it is the deliberate taking of a human life and should be banned because it is a clear form of murder.

The biggest and most important oath that a doctor takes is “first, do not harm” so if the doctor administers this drug then they would be going against what they said and believed in as a doctor.

(Stevens)The reason most people become doctors are to help people and save lives, not take them. Many doctors that have been involved with euthanasia have been affected emotionally and psychologically. Dutch physician who performed euthanasia noted that: 'To kill someone is something far reaching and that is something that nags at your conscience.
