Euthanasia? should there be compulsary Euthanasia and at what age, and should we allow voluntary Euthanasia?

Question

Should there be Compulsary Euthanasia if so at what age?
And should there be voluntary euthanasia for those who are terminally ill and have expressed a desire to die rather than prolong their own pain and suffering?

Answer 1

Euthanasia should be allowed as for age not so sure about that one but at the end of the day if a animal was in pain and terminally ill we are able to put them to rest shouldnt it be the same for humans ?

Answer 2

Euthanasia exists. We take people off life support all the time. Mothers, Fathers, Husbands, Wives and Children are given the choice every day " Keep them on life support or end their suffering".. euthanasia exists.

Should we step it up a notch and allow lucid people to say that they would rather live than die, or rather die than live? Perhaps. People also make that choice every day. I believe that allowing someone to needlessly suffer is wrong. I think that someone who is already terminal.. or will never benefit from any type of life.. should have the choice to die. I don't think that someone who can still have a meaningful life should be allowed to make that decision. I don't think that a runner who has lost his legs in an accident should be allowed to make that choice.. he can still be productive.. he can still live a life better than many others.

I don't ever think that the choice should be made for them. I do not think that there should be compulsory Euthanasia.. there are millions of people who live to be very old, and even though they are old are still productive in some way, wether through loving or receiving love.. they provide something to someone.. so no.. compulsory Euthanasia should never be an option.

Answer 3

Compulsory euthanasia? That's murder isn't it? So no, no compulsory euthanasia. Euthanasia by choice? Definitely. Both my parents have chosen for euthanasia when they became terminally ill. My mother died three months ago, my father almost eight years ago. It's been really difficult for me and my sister but I do believe they're better off now. To go on living would have meant an enormous amount of pain for them and no chance of recovery so I completely accept the fact that they've chosen to die and I certainly think that other people should have the right to make that decision as well.

Answer 4

Compulsory euthanasia? My,my, my... this country is degenerating quickly. There was a time when this question would not have even been considered, let alone asked. But since you asked, I'd like to change the parameter from age to intelligence and morality. Euthanize those of weak moral character first, then the ignorant, the retarded, blue eyed Germanics could be after them, then people who ask about euthanasia next or maybe first!

Answer 5

I artwork with elderly human beings, and you'd be suprised how plenty in good shape and able some eighty 365 days old are than the rather some doped up whorey childrens we see or pay attention approximately. Why is it which you're focusing human beings based soley on age, while a seventy 5 365 days old individual would have no longer something incorrect with them, yet a 25 365 days old individual would continually get themselves knocked up and come out little ones they are able to't locate the money for, and do drugs, meaning their teenagers prolly will, and then they're going to have teenagers who can no longer help themselves the two. who're we to make those judgements. in one US state, euthanasia has been made criminal, yet in basic terms under the strictest circumstances, for those that meet the factors. the outcomes have been that much less human beings now are being euthanised than while it replaced into unlawful. at the same time as elderly human beings and the terminally sick choose to have the alternative there, they are no longer necesarily going to apply it. customary using assessments are in place for the elderly, possibly if there is undesirable elderly drivers obtainable, one desires to learn sorting out standards? And, they are able to't use the internet, so they want the submit workplace. possibly all us youthful ruffians could stick to our mediums, and pass away the oldies to theirs?

Answer 6

No on the compulsory euthanasia.

But, yes on the voluntary euthanasia. I never understood if people care about people why do they force them to suffer, when everything shows there is no end (terminally ill)

Answer 7

I totally believe that anyone who is terminally ill and suffering should be allowed to die with dignity! My poor father suffered incredibly for 9 long months. We even talked about it and I told him I'd help him in any way he wanted, I would do anything for my Dad, but he said he couldn't take the chance of me getting charged with his death. I never left his side for the last 7 days of his life.
I was the last to hug him and tell him I loved him, and that means the world to me.
I have a living will and a DNR memo in it. But if I'm ever in the situation that my Dad was in, I will take my own life before I don't have the means. I do not want my child to go through what I did and we have talked about it so she knows it all.

No one deserves to suffer at the end of their life... euthanasia should be legal as it is up to the person whether they want to end their own suffering, and die with dignity. No one has the right to take that away from them.
We suffer enough in life, death should be painless.

Answer 8

I think euthanasia is acceptable if it is voluntary and, as a system, is well-regulated. It is up to an individual how (or whether) he lives, and we should respect the desire for autonomy. By legalizing assisted death, the states can set guidelines to prevent abuse (ie coercion or attempts by unqualified personnel). When life ceases to have meaning or is unbearable, and nothing can be done to amend these issues, we should have this option open to us.

Answer 9

Two movies come to mind. One is Logan's Run euthanasia was mandatory at 30 in that movie. and in the move Soylent Green it was voluntary at any age, the remains were turned into food for people to eat.

Answer 10

I feel anyone who wishes should be able to die. I do not believe in forced euthanasia. The problem is the religious ones who feel life is sacred. Each person should be able to choose.
