What do you think of euthanasia? I am not sure myself.?

Question

Sometimes it seem se care more about animals in pain but make ppl suffer. Other times I think it should be God's decision. I'm not sure. How do you feel?

Answer 1

If a god is supposed to determine the moment of your death, then arguably ANY attempt to change the extent of your life is immoral.

Is it immoral to assist with childbirth? To take vitamins? To develop and use antibiotics and vaccinations? To use surgery on the injured? Maybe all these people are SUPPOSED to die, neh? What kind of a monster would defy the gods in this way?

The choice is simple: either ALL of medicine is immoral, or NONE of it is, no matter WHAT the patient wants.

Answer 2

I am the country that was first to legalize it (after years of tolerating it), and it's not a big discussion here in the Netherlands. People still agree on it, also the main Christian party. The thing is that you have to be conscious, and confirm it for three times that you want it. Second opinion is always required. For people in a coma it will always be impossible. I don't know of any kind of abuse.

A friend of my mother suffered from a lethal form of cancer. She had two to three weeks to live, when the pain would be bigger than what any dose of morfine could alleviate (this would mean great pain).
She made a conscious decision on what day she would pass away, and people could say goodbye to her the day before. My mother said that after the tears she talked about very ordinary things to her - work and vacations - as always. Everybody was so glad that this was possible.

Answer 3

Every situation is individual and unique. I think euthanasia in any case is totally up to the individual but I think it should be allowed only when a person is terminally ill and in extremely great distress with no hope of a cure.

In the case of animals, the same things apply. The decision should be made by responsible and caring people.

All life is temporary and precious.

Answer 4

Animals cannot speak, but when we know they are suffering beyond endurance, there is that easement into the great beyond. As for people who suffer, they are vocal and tell us how they feel. There are those who have living wills that state how they want to be treated in the event that they are in a state where they can't speak for themselves. An example is that some people write living wills and choose not to be reanimated if they should suffer a fatal heart attack or stroke. And so I guess you could say that when they have a fatal heart attack, God has called them to Him and they submit by giving advance directives.

Answer 5

There are a number of things , in life, when judgement as an observer , has a totally different experience from being an involved one. Like Death itself. If we hear of someone dead, there is a chuckle, or a small comment or just a sad comment. As we come nearer to the reality when it is about to strike us or someone close to us we look at it more closely.
Euthanesia is also one such. It is easy to pass comment or judge as ringside observers. I would say that we should have an opinion as to what our decision would be if we are confronted with such a situation.

Answer 6

Pro. I've lived in a country where a person with a terminal,
painful or hopeless disease is allowed to die with dignity
when they reach the intolerable stages. It's kind and
appropriate and the decision of both the doctor and the
person involved. Resting life and death decisions in the
hands of an unknown entitity doesn't seem to be the most
compassionate answer.

Answer 7

According to God our bodies are not ours to do with what we wish. This is why he had laws about over doing things to harm our bodies. Euthanasia is judging for our self when we will die and only God should be able to do that. It is a sin to kill our self and that is exactly what a person is doing when they use Euthanasia. When they have someone else help them out with it then that would make the person that helps kill them a murderer and this is also a sin. Even though my heart goes out to these people in this pain and suffering and this is usually why they want to do this, I still feel it is wrong for them to decide their own death.

Answer 8

I think if the person wants to die and cant move or something so he can´t do it himself, and is being kept alive out of other´s will, its the same as torture. Everyone has a right to life, and everyone should have the right to death when you want it. I have no problem with euthanasia, provided its clearly asked for, quick, and painless.

Answer 9

properly, he in all probability over-dosed it slightly to be sure in spite of everything that... after the shot tho, despite if the canine have been nonetheless alive, she'd be in a coma, no longer able to experience any style of soreness or concern, so which you do no longer might desire to subject approximately her suffering. If he checked her for a complete minute, checked for student dilation and each thing, do no longer subject. She's in peace now. My adverse cat ok-I-T-Y died at sixteen some weeks in the past.... We bathed her, and took her out wrapped in a towel to the severe high quality heat sunlight to attempt her off... She meowed at us quite as though to declare see you later, appeared at unquestionably everybody with great loving eyes and gave up the ghost... Up until eventually that day she were there daily of my existence. some weeks earlier i grew to become into born surely... i understand that's no longer simple to lose a puppy after that long. i'm sorry on your loss.

Answer 10

1) Any argument based on religion in any field should be ignored by governement.
2) We should be very careful about keeping government as much as possible out of medical decisions
3) Personal dignity is more important than noble suffering. Let them rest.
