“Physician Assisted Suicides and Euthanasia, right or wrong?
Who should be the one to determine when to terminate a person’s life?”
Have you ever sat down to think about that question which lingers through everyone’s mind at one time or another? What tells us as humans if the things we do are either right or wrong? A lot of the time people answer that question by looking back at the time when they were children. People usually decide whether things are right or wrong based on the way they were taught to think. As children we are like “sponges” as people like to say, ready to suck all the knowledge we can. So, I began to wonder what have my parents always told me was wrong to do but I might disagree with depending on the situation. That took me back to my morals, ethics, and believes, as a child I was always told that no matter the circumstances “You should never hurt or kill someone” not always in those exact words but along those lines. They made it clear that I was in no right to hurt or end a persons life.
Many people tend to ignore the topic because it is very controversial and at times people cannot seem to find a straight answer that may satisfy them and everyone else. There is many times where people say that these things shouldn’t be done just because they may not want to seem cruel and uncaring, and I put myself in that same category.
Research pg.2 There has been several times where I have agreed with others on the topic saying I believe both physician assisted suicides and euthanasia were wrong just not too look bad. When I started to do the research paper I believed both procedures were wrong. At the end of my paper we will find out my feelings after I become better informed. I have always been taught that no one has the right to decide when one should die; the only one that has the power is “GOD”. I have also never been put in the situation aside from my uncle who was very ill and there was nothing
