Why does euthanasia devalue human life?
* This slippery debate is for pro and con regarding Euthanasia and two of the most important issues are the Oath that doctors take to preserve life and that of religious faith. 50% of doctors are pro Euthanasia (for certain patients.) However, for years doctors are using a form of Euthanasia ... upon the request of the patient or their family 'disconnecting from machines to keep them alive' or, giving the patient no medication with the exception of morphine for pain and morphine will eventually weaken the patient's heart and they will die. Different Forms of Euthanasia: Assisted suicide ... suicide by the patients own hand or doctors stopping certain treatments to keep a patient in a great deal of pain alive and assisting the patient or their family to stop different forms of treatment and give pain medication as needed until the patient passes on. The pro debate for Euthanasia is that under the Human Rights Act an individual has a right to take their own life if they are in great pain and will soon pass away and the con debate is that of a doctor following an Oath he took to preserve life and also religious beliefs that nature should take it course with full medical help. The fear is that doctors or those who assist in suicides will do so with other disease where the patient may have some quality of life and that it will only turn into a Adolf Hitler type of genocide. The great question 'Who is next with what type of disease?' One case is an elderly man who is dying from a heart disease and he and his wife love each other greatly and the two have requested by a court of law that they can die together. The debate rages on because the husband is in poor health, but his wife is healthy. To date no decision has been made. However, that being said, patients or in this case the man's wife can often keep medications and use certain medications to end their lives anyway without a court ruling.
