Is euthanasia morally?
Individual Assignment 3 -My views on a current ethics debate (Euthanasia)
Euthanasia which refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. There are three types of euthanasia which includes voluntary euthanasia, non-voluntary euthanasia and involuntary euthanasia.
Voluntary euthanasia includes cases in which someone takes their own life, but also cases in which they "deputize" someone else. Voluntary euthanasia is carried on with the approval of the patient. For example, a person may sign a "living will" asking that they not be place on artificial life support if they suffer from a terminal illness and permanent damage to their brain.
Non-voluntary euthanasia happens when there is no specific consent no matter in the present or in the past given by the person who is killed, since they are not in a position to give or refuse consent, but the decision is made by their family, friends, or doctor acting "on their behalf".
Involuntary euthanasia consists of killing someone who explicitly requests not to be killed. There is generally no support for this practice.
Is Euthanasia morally or not morally? In my opinion, euthanasia is morally acceptable. This is due to I think that all human have their own rights of individuals in a democracy. All individuals have their own human right to make decision on their life as long as they did not create damage to other people and effect negatively in other people’s right. As we can see, terminally ill patients who want euthanasia for themselves are not physically harming other people. However, even I agree euthanasia is morally, I must point out that euthanasia and suicide is different. For example, I cannot accept suicide for those who are NOT physically injury and still can contribute to their family, social, country or the World. I only agree for people who are really suffer serious terminally ill, such as brain death and just to wait for time to go to another world.
