Personally, I disagree with euthanasia. I don’t think God intended for man to decide when, where, and how to take Sometimes we as humans feel we are helping others and in actuality end up hurting more than anything. A prime example is Dr. Kevorkian. Kevorkian assisted approximatley thirty people with euthanasia. He and his patients thought they were helping to end a life of pain and misery. In reality, they left behind more pain and misery than peace.
I think it was morally wrong to let Kevorkian kill all those people because had he been a minority, with society being the way it is today, he would have been arrested after the first few acts of euthanasia. But because Kevorkian is viewed as a powerful white male he was allowed to “get awat with” numerous euthanasia killings. I thought this to be very inhumane seeing that after he assisted the people in dying, he dropped their bodies off at different hospitals. To me, this is like someone dropping garbage off at a waste site. That does’t seem very caring or humane to me. It looks like you’re just out for the financial rewards to be obtained as a result of a Another point that makes me curious about Kevorkian and doctors like him is that the American Medical Association does not honor or acknowledge them.
Personally, I wouldn’t want anyone like this assisting me with any medical matter. There were several patients who did not give Kevorkian permission to perform euthanasia, but he did anyway. These people’s rights were violated. If they were like a lot of terminally ill people, they aren’t able to consent to anything. If these people are in this condition, how can you help them? You can’t even determine if they want your help or not. It is not up to another human to determine the fate of someone else.
The Essay on Euthanasia-Assisted Suicide
Webster's dictionary defines the term euthanasia as a painless, happy death. In recent years, a new term - assisted euthanasia has been introduced. This is when a terminally ill patient is assisted in committing suicide by their doctor or even by a friend or relative. There is a story which I read of an Aids patient. As he approached his time of death, he decided that rather than prolonging the ...
Because of this god-like pratice, we need laws passed against euthanasia before it is uncontrollable. If it is not put under control, eventually, hospitals and everyone else will perform euthanasia without asking permission from anyone. Who knows, someone who is not very knowledgeable may order this “mercy killing” when it is not needed; If this becomes a habit there, will be a lot of people dying There are a lot of people like Dr. Kevorkian who have good intentions, but who carry them out through the wrong actions. These people will be held accountable for their actions in the end, if not in a court of law, then by God.
