Euthanasia

they are fairly split, but the majority of them think it is wrong.

Absolutely positively not, not because it is illegal in most states but because it is very dangerous. People have been euthanized in the U.S. because doctors have decided that they had a bad quality of life. The reason for the bad quality of life is because the medical staff may have put them into a severe drug coma and the patient was in a vegetative state because of that means that medical staff who overdose patients with deadly sedatives can say the person has no quality of life when in reality the staff overdosed the patient instead.That makes it easy for medical staff to commit murder. There are psychopaths in every field. Not every medical staff cares about saving a life, like people would like to believe. Some medical staff believe in murder instead for whatever the reason. Euthanasia that is accepted will make it too easy for medical staff to get away with murder. Instead, all euthanasia should be illegal and not accepted everywhere in the United States and any medical staff who does euthanize should be put in prison for life.

This is a very big topic, if it's a personal question rather than a research one then i really suggest you speak to family and friends. I can only offer my personal opinions as its a moral discussion not a scientific one.

I believe it's a persons own prerogative, they should be allowed to make their own free choices and if this includes death then why should we stop them? At the end of the day one persons life is only important to their peers and if they are mutually confident this is the best outcome of somebody suffering in pain or living a futile vegetative existence then why would we spend money and time keeping them alive?

If writing about this, your best using your own opinions, expressing your feelings here, many religions disagree with this and class it alongside abortion and murder... I think religion is ridiculous... So it's all a matter of opinion.

King George V of England was euthanized by his doctor by lethal injection of cocaine and morphine so that the announcement of the king's death should appear in The Times rather than a less respectable newspaper later in the day.

Less famous is Christian de Duve, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1974 for his work on cell organelles. In May 2013, at the age of 95, he decided to be euthanized due to cancer and atrial fibrillation exasperated by a fall.

It means to apply Euthanasia (mercy killing). In other words, kill him to avoid him suffering.

No. In 2006 Holland lealized euthanasia for babies born with incurable diseases that involve "unbearable suffering".

Assisted suicide (not the same as euthanasia) is legal in Switzerland and is offered by the human rights organization Dignitas to screened clients who may travel to Switzerland from abroad for the service.

The Morality of euthanasia depends on which side of the fence you are standing on. The argument is religious and political above all. for example the same people that say helping a person in suffering from a terminal disease voluntarily end their life is not ethical say that dropping napalm on the homes of village children and their parents is because they are under the power of a group whose politics they don't like.

well doctors are not allowed to do kill patients in form of euthanasia.This is so because when they were going to work as doctors they had taken a Hippocratic oath which says that doctors should save the life of patients as far as possible.

the money going to the terminally ill patient, can now go to other patients who have a higher chance to live compared to a terminally ill or brain dead patient.

as of yet, Libya has no legislation allowing euthanasia within the country

This data is not collected, so a definitive answer is not possible. I would guess the answer is in the thousands between animal shelters, humane societies and euthanasias at veterinary clinics.

Catholics are completely against mercy killing. Suffer through to the bitter end no matter what.

A person can die anywhere, given the right circumstances. However, if you refer to suicide, assisted suicide, or euthanasia, people will do their best to stop you no matter what you want. Suicide was illegal in the US until lawmakers overturned the law in order to get attempted suicides to come forth for treatment. The Netherlands support full-fledged euthanasia, meaning the doctor can end the life of (kill) the patient. Switzerland does not punish euthanasia or assisted suicide. The states of Oregon, Washington, and Montana have legalized assisted suicide.

in 1935 in Britain, 1938 in the USA, and 1980 in Canada

No, obviously not as long the CO is not produced with noxious other gases such as in car exhaust. That's why it's called a "silent killer" many victims die unknowingly in their sleep. If there were pain or sensation at all, it wouldn't be a source of accidental death.

The greatest happiness principle states that the greatest amount of pleasure should be given to the greatest number of people thereby maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain. On this principle, one could argue that euthanizing someone who is in great pain would be okay because it would be minimizing their pain.

If you would like to have a baby thesis.. just ask mr. guzman

It doesnt. It will help you and if you are dying then it is good becaus eit will be painless and quicker as you need lots of beds in the hospital for injured patients.

Euthanasia doesnt affect your society because your not the choosing euthanasia somebody else it wouldn't affect you until somebody you know chooes it.

Akib Shahjahan Where is euthanasia practiced? It is practiced on: Netherland Belgium ETC

There may be other examples, but the most notable individual is Dr. Jack Kevorkian who is a proponent of Euthenasia and has been prosecuted on several occasions. (OR - depending on your point of veiw PERSECUTED on several occasions.)
