Best Answer

Because people think that killing is wrong for any reason.

Added: It can be assumed that the questioner is referring to Euthenasia as applied to human beings. If so, SOME people are against it on religious grounds and others are philosophically opposed and are wary of the "slippery slope" argument.

Is morphene used to help a person die?

It can be . . . however, it is normally used for pain control. What you are referring to would be called "passive euthanasia." Morphine has a threshold where, at some point, the respiratory system is depressed (slowed down) so much that the person stops breathing and dies. Simultaneously, though, the person is in no pain because of the pain relief the drug provides. This passive euthanasia is highly debated, and this topic will most likely be up for debate significantly in the near future.

How do you prevent euthanasia?

Euthanasia is not a condition or symptom. Euthanasia is the process by which sodium pentatol or some form of similar drug is injected into the bloodstream in very large doses, so as to purposely cause the death of the individual. This is what Veterinarians do to pets when they are being "put down" humanely. It is also the process used to humanely execute prisoners on death row in some states. Hope this helps. It was hard to tell what you meant by your question, as I think you are confused by the term "euthanasia" and what it pertains to. I supposed one would prevent euthanasia by not overdosing on medications they have been prescribed. Always take medications as directed by your doctor. never self medicate.
