Most doctors who are against euthanasia are against it because they believe they are there to heal and protect, not kill. According to the Hyppocratic oath, "I will never do harm to anyone", and many doctors hold with that line of ethics.

Do people believe in euthanasia?

Opinions on euthanasia vary among individuals and cultures. Some people believe in the right to choose how and when they end their lives, while others consider euthanasia morally or ethically wrong. Religious and ethical beliefs often influence attitudes towards euthanasia.


Why is euthanasia right to doctors?

Euthanasia against the patients' will is illegal worldwide. Physician-assisted-death, where the patient self-administers the lethal medication, is only legal in certain countries and the states of Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The debate over euthanasia stems from whether it's morally right to allow people to kill themselves to end their suffering from fatal and/or painful illnesses. Most doctors probably consider euthanasia wrong, though some might argue that it's the patients right to decide whether to suffer or to end their own lives.

Euthanasia crime or not?

* Euthanasia is a crime in most States with the exception of Oregon and Washington, but Texas, Minnesota and a few other States are trying to accept Euthanasia into their States. It's not a crime to the person that is ill if that individual has a long-term painful illness where they will not get better and want to die with dignity. Often doctors keep patients alive due to the Hippocratic Oath, but more and more doctors are 'for' Euthanasia. Some people are against it because of their religious beliefs. One day in the not too distant future Euthanasia will be an individuals right to decide upon.

Do incestors pedophiles and molesters all believe they are doing nothing wrong?

Logic would say no, as assuming that they all believe the same thing on any one topic is a generalization. Some do, some don't. Many of them realize that it is wrong, but believe that they are incapable of controlling it. Others don't believe that there is anything wrong with what they do.

Why is euthanasia used?

Euthanasia is from the greek words Eu (good) and Thanos (death). The name says it all - Euthanasia means good death. Euthanasia of pets is a fairly common decision when a terminally ill or injured pet cannot be saved by veterinary intervention and is suffering. Euthanasia of humans, by choice of that person, is a far more controversial topic. Many people believe that they have the right to end their lives at peace and with dignity, whenever they choose. Many individuals feel that a person has the right to decide to die rather than linger, perhaps for years. In such circumstances, the person may feel a burden on their loved ones, and they are often in substantial pain. Others (right to life groups) claim that euthanasia is wrong. Some of these groups are religious and claim that since God bestows life, only God has the right to take it away.


Why is euthanasia bad?

Euthanasia is only bad if you've been taught that it was bad. There is no logic to disapproval. Euthanasia is bad. Who is to decide who will die or not. God is the only person that has the right to take away or give life not a doctor. If some one is terminally ill and in pain then doctors help with the pain, when the time is right God will decide when the person's life comes to an end. If everyone decided to give in and die then where would the world be now in terms of medicine? Euthanasia is the easy way out and no one has the right to take their own life or others but God.
