What is so wrong with euthinasia when we practice lethal injection in our country?

Question

So what is so wrong with choosing your right to die peacefully and pain-free when we practice lethal injection in our prison system for people on deathrow?

Answer 1

Euthanasia, as a way to eliminate "undesireable" ethnecities was what a man named Adolph Hitler attempted in the early 40's.Remember him? Sadaam H. also practiced this when attempting to eliminate other indiginous groups in his country.

What kind of criteria would you use to establish just who should or could be euthanized? Those who have physical imparements, mental illness, the wrong eye color? I have heard the arguements that a doctor should be able to administer a painless death when all other hope is lost, but what doctor wants to be the one who is willing to do this? None that I know.

Remember, when you open that can of worms, you don't really know what all is going to crawl out.

Answer 2

eutinasia is a topic that is higly intensified by christians. Christians believe that humans are supposed to have a good life, but also they must suffer as christ did. i was reminded of this recently when watching the texas chainsaw masacare - a guy had his leg chopped off and was hanging off the ground from a large hook in his back! he asked a girl to finnish him off - by stabing him with a knife - which she eventialy managed to do. now, if that girl was a practising christian, theoreticly she would not have killed him. so i ask all christians and people who do not support euthanasia - could you tell your friend that you were going to leave him there to die in emense pain for the next few hours - the fact is - a person dying like this or a person dying from anything else i.e cancer are in pain - most cancer sufferers would even consider the pain to be worse than anything else they have been through in life. in answer to your question, i think it is ridiculous that euthanasia is not legal and alloud. people have the choice on how to live - it should also be our desision on how we are going to die.

its all wrong in my opinion. when the shelters say that their shelters are full so they have to euthinize the reason their shelters are so full is because they are too picky on who they let adopt. my husband and i had gotten a ticket on a dog that was outside just for play and to use the bathroom but animal control gave us a ticket because there was no food or water back there and no dog house, when i tried to explain that the dog was an inside dog they wouldn't even try to hear me, they said i was lying, well anyway a few years later we went to the shelter to try to adopt a dog and because of that ticket we werent allowed to.

about a week ago the ppl next door to us moved and called animal control to come and get the dog because the owner couldn't take her to her new apt. when animal control came out i asked them what is going to happen to that dog and they said that because the dog was an outside dog and not leash trained and a little scared they were going to euthanize her when she got back to the shelter. just for not being leash trained and scared. the fact of the matter is the animal shelters don't like animals that much , the ones they don't think they can make as much money on are the ones they put down.

so i am against it totally along with the death penalty.

Hear, hear. Logic has very little to do with the law.

AUTHOR: Charles Dickens (1812–70)
QUOTATION: “If the law supposes that,” said Mr. Bumble,… “the law is a ***—a idiot. If that’s the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience—by experience.”
ATTRIBUTION: CHARLES DICKENS, Oliver Twist, chapter 51, p. 489 (1970). First published serially 1837–1839.

As far as capital punishment goes, we don't have it here in NZ.
"Thou shalt not kill".

Answer 5

I think what you mean is assisted suicide, where someone assists a person who wants to die. That is legal in the Netherlands.

In the US state of Oregon, a patient may ask a doctor for a prescription sufficient to kill them. The doctor can prescribe it, but cannot administer it.

There is nothing wrong with this - I hope if I am ever in a position where I am unable to end my life but want to die to escape the pain of an incurable condition, someone will take pity on me and help me on my way.

Answer 6

Nothing is wrong with that. In fact, we euthanize animals, and consider that humane, when our animals get too old or sick to be happy and enjoying of life. We should do the same with humans.

Not only that, but if a woman's "right to choose" how to control her body extends to terminating unborn foetuses, than anyone should be able to similarly acquire medical help, in either ethical suicide, or in cosmetic surgery, sex change, or even castration to relieve an unwanted sex drive.

These things should be available on demand, to anyone who is rational and has some expressable reason why s/he wants what s/he does.

Answer 7

You'd think it'd be legal to help decrease the population, but it's not. It should be. Your life should be your right, as well as your death. But I guess the reason it's not is because of the whole religious aspect on suicide. There's never really been a seperation from church and state. Many laws practiced today, just and unjust, derive from the laws set forth in the bible. Then also it'd probably be morals. It's pretty selfish to want to die. There's someone in this world who loves you, and to take yourself away from them is pretty inconsiderate.

Answer 8

one is a punshment, and the other is a choice,that by law we can't make right or wrong has nothing to do with many laws

Answer 9

People on death row lose their right to live when they murder someone. They have made their beds and now they can lie in it.
