Euthanasia

Its not legal, people have to travel to Switzerland

In the United States, most euthanasia procedures are for animals and are performed by veterinarians. However, in Oregon physician-assisted suicide (a form of euthanasia) is legal under strict medical oversight, and the death penalty (state-sponsored involuntary euthanasia) is legal throughout the United States.

Greed is the short way of putting it. To elaborate if you legalize euthanasia in any form it then opens up more doors, you have decided that killing another person who is suffering is ok but there are those who would have you put down because keeping you alive was more expensive or they simply wanted their inheritance. If it was legalized and your greedy daughter for example wanted money for a upcoming vacation she could convince people it was kinder to kill you now just so she could have her way. That's when you get organized crime involved in this racket and soon murder has been legalized just renamed.

Is possibly installed with Quickbooks, and may be used if you are trying to get tech support on your computer. It isn't necessary, and it can just be reinstalled if you need it, so it is safe to get rid of it.

Plastic bag suffocation is a great example of mercy killing.

Recent years have seen ongoing growth in the number of no-kill shelters, while successful efforts at population control have lessened the stress placed on facilities that care for unwanted or stray animals. Statistics provided by the Humane Society of the United States indicate that between 1973 and 2007, the rate of euthanasia dropped by more than 60%.

Yes, it is intended to end life where that life only contains suffering.

Euthanasia means "killing someone because that persons life is considered unbearable through pain, incurable disease etc." Usually, it is done with the consent of the sufferer. It is illegal in most countries, because it is considered murder.

We assume to day they can hear, see and feel when we take care of them since we don't know. Rarely do they remember when they wake up and if they never wake we wont know. it differs on what injury they have and where on the brain it's located. Sometimes people mistake comatose for being braindead which is not the case.

Disagrees

Jacob Kevorkian was a doctor who was famously (or infamously) imprisioned for illegally euthanizing patients.

He died at age 83 on June 3, 2011 (unrelated)

The Anglicans point off view can be simply described by the saying thou shat not kill.

Acceptable? To whom? There are those to whom anything is acceptable. There are also those to whom certain things will never be acceptable. It is the reason debates on issues like this rage on. Acceptable to society? Through time and erosion, you can get society to accept almost anything. Nazi Germany accepted the mass murder of Jews, homosexuals, and communists for the entire duration of Hitler's reign. The question is not whether it would be acceptable, but when and how. Acceptable by law? In certain places with laws allowing it, such as Oregon, Washington, the Netherlands, etc, yes. Almost all other places, no. Yes, it is terrible to watch loved ones die. It's horrific to watch the death of a father or a sister dying from slow diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer's. In some cases, euthanasia seems justifiable, and to many people, it can be. A soldier on the battlefield might pull the trigger on a wounded friend to ease his passing, but is that the proper response?It is ironic that this debate should be so hot at a time where pain-easing technology is better and more effective than at any time in history.

euthenasia means killing the person, cant cure a person who has been euthenised

I've taken up to 220, and the time i did i started shaking uncontrollably, had a massive headache, threwup, and thought i was dying.

that was after 30 mins of taking it.

i'de say an hour.

Medically, when there is "no hope of improvement", people talk more about right to live versus euthanasia. Additionally, people cite "quality of life" as a reason an ill person should have a right to choose euthanasia, especially over suicide. Negative quality of life (QA) can include so many conditions, such as chronic severe pain, to illnesses such as Lou Gerigh's -- and others-- that it is impossible to list them all here.

Every person must decide what his or her own QA is during illness or disability. Two people with the exact same illness, same living conditions, same family or social supports, and same financial or other supports could each disagree about what QA means and whether each wants to live or die. Beliefs, personality, coping skills, ability to endure and to hope all enter into people's thinking and discussions about euthanasia. Just as one person may declare, "I don't want to live on a ventilator!" another person may defiantly declare, "If a ventilator keeps me alive, I still have a life!"

Other people decide to commit manslaughter or murder using the argument that they were helping patients using euthanasia. Nurses who have done these acts are called, "Angels of Death" as a juxataposition to how nurses are historically viewed as "Angels of health, hope, and comfort" despite how bad a patient's condition must be. There are only a couple states that allow euthanasia, Oregon being one. In all other incidents, the person doing euthanasia has been prosecuted and found guilty of manslaughter or murder.

Unfortunately, as long as suffering and pain enter the lives of human beings, the debates about euthanasia and suicide will continue.

Being able to be free to deside your time and place of death.

There are many methods. The most commonly accepted in the medical field include lethal injection, gassing with carbon monoxide, and suffocating with a plastic bag. Apart from lethal injection, these methods are not even considered ethical to execute a convicted murderer in the United States. When a lethal injection is performed, the family is usually not allowed to watch because of its effects.
There are many methods of euthanization. Remember, the ultimate goal here is to end the person's life, so what we are looking for here is first, that the death does not fail, as this would add to the suffering of our target. Next, we want it to be quick, so that we, the doctors, don't have to deal with it any longer than necessary. Lastly this death should not hurt. We will take a good, hard, detailed look at the methods of this gruesome subject. (Warning: If you are easily disturbed, I recommend you do not continue reading) (For the purposes of this answer, euthanasia shall refer to doctor taking the final action that ends the patient's life with the patient's consent) We will not debate whether this is wrong or right at the moment, but right now, we have a job. Our job is to kill someone. Ready? Let's roll up our sleeves and get down to it. We take the lethal mixture of chemicals, the same mixture used for executing criminals, and put it into our injection apparatus, commonly in the form of an IV. Using this method, two needles are inserted into the patient, one in each arm. Once the tubes are in place, we administer an anesthetic, usually Sodium thiopental, or more commonly called Pentothal. Once the subject is unconscious, saline solution flushes the lines, and we introduce a paralyzing agent, usually Pavulon (Pancuronium Bromide). This is administered in a dosage so large (100 milligrams) that it actually stops the diaphragm and lungs, effectively beginning the process of death through suffocation. Our saline solution once again flushes the lines, and we put in our toxic agent… Potassium Chloride. This is given in order to interrupt the electrical signals that our hearts need to function, thereby inducing cardiac arrest. This is a very popular method since it can be performed with a variety of household items. We will be using a much more elaborate system. Our system has a hood into which we will pump an inert gas, such as nitrogen or more probably carbon dioxide. Placing this hood over the subject's head, we will simply turn on the gas, and, since we must monitor the process to make sure that it is completed, we will stand there and watch as our patient slowly stops breathing. These will be our principle means of euthanizing. Other methods exist and are implemented, but they are very dangerous and often end in failure. Euthanasia, just like suicide, is an irreversible step (unless it fails), so if you do live where it is legal, think long and hard and look into such pain-relieving things like morphine or Palliative medicine, as almost all pain can be relieved, if not eliminated.

Assisted euthanasia usually means that one person is helping another person die, in some cases, commit suicide. Dr. Jack Kervorkian was a famous physcian who went to prison for "helping" his terminally ill patients die. It is illegal in many parts of the world, including America, to assist someone with death. In a lot of cases, the nurse or doctor will inject a patient with a lot of pain medicine, and this will kill them. There are some parts of the UK where they actually have clinics that people can go to in order to die, and it is not illegal (Germany, I think? Switzerland?).

There are several points for euthanasia, but if you were writing an essay I would use these

1. It puts an end to suffering

2. You have other rights that include death (abortion) so why no right to your own death?

3. Could free up scarce health resources (not seriously proposed yet)

4 Other rights imply the right to die
