Euthanasia, right or wrong?

Question

answer yes or no, and why do you think that.

Answer 1

Yes and no:
Yes- If they are in pain or suffering.
No- The animal bit someone. (little kids bite ppl, do you see us euthanising them? The dogs might be frightened or have been abused)

Answer 2

Yes or No would not clarify, since the question asks not just "Right" !
So, the answer is it Wrong !
If suicide can be understood to be wrong, the same reason holds good.... !
The person is right now incapable of carrying out a suicide by himself, and so is requesting for euthanasia ( and in case it is without the consent of the person, like in the case of coma, it is nothing short of murder ! )

Answer 3

Euthanasia is wrong.

"The ongoing cycle of materialism within the culture will now, hopefully, be evident. The advocacy of of euthanasia seems to be related directly to cultural materialism, which assumes that the quality of life for the elderly,the terminally ill, and the vulnerable is very low. This conviction has driven many within the culture to pursue a new option, a new freedom, which at first glance, may appear to be compassionate, but in the final reckoning not only undermines compassion but also puts incredible pressure on the economically marginalized, the depressed, and those with low self-esteem to commit suicide. The pressure will be felt even though most people in this situation would reverse any such desire for suicide if their pain and depression were properly treated. The grand irony of this "new freedom" is that it is creating an UNNECESSARY, UNWANTED, pressure, if not DUTY to die. If I am not mistaken, death is the end of freedom. Hence, this new freedom is producing an unnecessary , unwanted duty to end freedom.

The harm of euthanasia is not limited to individuals. It is also producing three devastating cultural effects:

1. It accelerates the culture's obbsession with a view of freedom, love, ethics, self-worth, happiness, success, and suffering.

2. It undermines our ability to suffer well and therefore to grow from suffering.

3. It allows a radically false view of "compassion" to eclipse its true, profound meaning frounded in the highest dimensions of empathy."

Answer 4

from a religious viewpoint.. wrong as either way u look at it ur taking a life that god has created. Only god is allowed 2 do this.

a reason for right is that the elderly person with a terminal illness may soon undergo extreme amounts of pain and therefore doesn't wish to go through it. They may wish 2 end their life with dignity instead of having to go thru the pain.
