MY ISSUE ON EUTHANASIA By Scarlet Park-Deere
What is Euthanasia Classification of Euthanasia- Voluntary or Involuntary Passive or Active
ACTIVE, VOLANTARY EUTHANASIA Is suppose to end life peacefully When someone decides to end their life of their own free will Usually carried out using an Euthanasia machine Must be performed by the patient - not a doctor
“Prepare yourself now,” Dr Nitschke said. “Work out for yourself a good practical way to end your life.” West Australian Newspaper, Apr 10th 2010 DR.PHILLIPNITSCHKE For Euthanasia • Dr Nitschke Has assisted 4 people to end their lives • Dr. Nitschke is an Australian Medical doctor and calls himself a ‘Humanist’ • He is also the founder of a group that are pro-Euthanasia which is called “Exit International”
ThePROSfor Euthanasia • People can die with dignity • People can have • freedom • Patients, families and friends don’t have to suffer • People don’t have to take medication that prolongs life
TheCONSagainst Euthanasia • People could exploit others • Could be used as a way of murder • People could just be having a bad day, week, or month and decide they’re ready to die “it is never licit to kill another: even if he should wish it, indeed if he request it, hanging between life and death… nor is it licit even when a sick person is no longer able to live“. St. Augustine , Catholic Church • It is unnatural
Problems With Euthanasia • Euthanasia doesn’t have a certain age bracket were it can be seen as appropriate. • Some people are sick since they were born or at various stages in their life
MY SOLUTION MY OPINION AND If a person is terminally ill they should have the right to choose Strict laws Medically diagnosed Must be signed off Must be terminally sick GIVE US THE RIGHT
