Do you think the world would be a better place if euthenasia were available to everyone?

Answer 1

I think it would be nice for people to have that option, but I wouldn't advise it as a way of advocating murder, and allowing murders to claim it was an act of "euthanasia" for defence.

Answer 2

I think euthenasia would work, but only under certain conditions. There are huge, insurmountable differences between cultures in the treatment of the dying and the respect they get. Althought some would argue for a universal human rights and therefore a universal euthenasia policy, you wonder if this would really work. What is acceptable with one society may nont be in another and problems with occur if one tries in impose something alien in to a culture. I think euthenasia is a good idea but frart with alot if difficulties. In some developed societies i think it would be acceptable to have a euthenasia policy if there were guidleines surrounding it so not to be abused. However in answering your question would the world be a 'better' place, my answer would be no. The world would be a better place if we were able to help/cure/make more comfortable people when put in that position and increase understanding in the lives of those who are elderly/dying etc. Euthenasia is not a cure all mechanism, but it does give back to people the control over thier own lives.

Answer 3

No. And it impossible to say beyond the realm of speculation if it would be. Since, making it available would also demand the developent. A specific set of criterion which would by and large determine the implementation of euthenasia. And said determination would be deliverd. Thus, the growth of the idea would become circumspect and subject to an entire set of of circumstates, which would have absolutely nothing to do with the

Answer 4

No, not at all! We become all murderers. Only God has the right to end ones life. Only God can get what he has given. Nowhere in the Holy Scripture can you find anything that alows man to take the life of another person. God even punishes those who waste their semen resulting from the practice of artificial birth control.

And if God punishes those who waste their semen how much more it is for one who waste the life of a person in his own hands through the practice of euthenasia. The world will never be at peace with nature if euthenasia is available to anyone. And anything not at peace with nature only brings disaster and chaos and as such how can the world be a better place then. Let us therefore be one with nature and the universe following and obeying its sacred laws. One of these sacred laws is "THOU SHALT NOT KILL". However one says it, euthenasia is killing and taking life with your own hands that is contrary to God's commandment.

Answer 5

Not necessarily.

Pardon the 'sillyness' but dying is a personal thing.

For some people on both sides of the debate it is not the dying but the manner in which they die.
Those who feel their time has come and wish to 'die in dignity' versus those who fear they could be murdered and those who think that the state may take control and decide for all of us when it is our time.

In my view euthenasia must remain something that someone must express clearly and repeatedly to ensure they have not been persuaded by others. I would rather it not an option at all, but I can understand the views of those who feel that it is something they really wish to be able to follow through with.

Answer 6

"eu·tha·na·sia NOUN:

The act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment."

So, there are no confusions here. I think is the ultimate right of anyone, in this case. I'm not talking about those who decide, in depression, to take their own life...

Is a gift. For those in pain and with no hope left. I think they deserve to have this choice.
Will this make a better place? I don't know...

Answer 7

The governments health care bills would be smaller, leaving more money to help those who Want to be helped. I think that if there is one thing a man should be free to decide upon is when they die. There are so many other people out there that are allowed to make that decision for us (governments sending people to war, drunken drivers or in some countries the law), why should we not have the same right as individuals in charge of our own selves. No one would use it if they did not really want to. Those who want to usually have a pretty good reason why to do it. And apart from grief, which is unavoidable in any circumstances involving death, no one else gets hurt.

Answer 8

I think there would be alot less suffering and even a balance in population. But then again we also wouldn't strive to fix anything either we would just eliminate the problem.So there are pros and cons of everything and we wouldn't have been able to control the outbreaks of flus or colds or any common controllable disease that we can now. I say that because they would have used euthanasia to solve the problem instead of finding a cure.

Answer 9

I don't think the two go hand in hand. The world remains the same, just some people won't be in it any more.
Some people would have changed lives as a result of friends, family or even enemies using euthanasia, but the world keeps turning.

Answer 10

i think there would be a huge waiting line,like walmarts christmas sale,where color tv's were 30.00 and people camped overnight in sleeping bags by the front door,so they wouldnt miss out on the big event,the massive demand for it would be so great,the world would be alot emptier,and then the people offering the lethal injection would run out of product,and have to ofter rain checks,but only a limited amount,and after that the government would step in and start charging like 1000.00 per person,and then the ones truly wanting this service could not afford it,therefore,if it started out making the world a better place,after the regulations became all in place,it would be another day at the welfare office,where nobody leaves happy.

Answer 11

Yes I think so. In the old days people died at a faster rate and now medical advances keep us alive so much longer! If I were very ill and in pain I might want to opt for euthanasia...right now, it isn't an option. I mean you die anyway eventually. Of course there might be problems if you had someone else decide for you! But you wouldn't be around anymore to argue about it.
