    Euthanasia

    Euthanasia should be legalized to allow terminally ill patients the opportunity to prepare for their deaths, avoid unnecessary pain and die with dignity. Euthanasia is “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.” (Am. Heritage) The literal meaning of the word euthanasia, "‘an easy or happy death,’ from the Greek word eu- ‘good’, and thanatos ‘death’"(Harper), is proof in itself that the whole idea is to help people and not to belittle the value of life. The fact that suffering animals can be put out of their misery, but suffering people are forced to stay alive and endure the pain, is inhumane. Legalizing euthanasia would be no more than an act of mercy allowing medical personnel to bring slow, painful deaths to a halt.…

    After 16 years of war and depression, World War II ended in 1945, and more babies were born between 1946 and 1964 (78 million) than ever before and never since, which gave way to the name “baby booms”. The first stage of the boom occurred during 1945-1950, and the second was from mid 1950-1964. Financial advantages turned out to be plentiful after the war; and this generation of baby boomers became known as the “Me Generation” (Gigante, 2010).…

    Nurses have a responsibility to examine how they feel about euthanasia, about the processes available today for extending life, and whether their patients have a right to choose their own fate. Although nurses worldwide are confronted with euthanasia requests from patients under their care, rarely are their opinions considered in the decision making process. “To develop clear guidelines on the role of nurses in euthanasia, it is essential to consider fully the viewpoint of nurses, given their daily interactions with dying patients and their expertise in caring for them” (Verpoort & Gastmans, 2006, p. 188) Nurses are involved in various phases of the euthanasia process such as viewing the request for euthanasia, managing decision making, discharging out euthanasia, and the aftercare for the patient’s family. Nurses have a professional responsibility to stay reliably informed about the ethical, legal, cultural and clinical implications of euthanasia.…

    Euthanasia can be a very difficult issue. There are two views to the debate that are difficult to balance. On one end, we do not want to take a person’s life into our own hands and end it prematurely. On the other end, at what point do we simply allow a person to die and take no further action to preserve life?…

    Euthanasia

    • 5 Pages

    Like other terms borrowed from history, "euthanasia" has had different meanings depending on usage. The first apparent usage of the term "euthanasia" belongs to the historian Suetonius who described how the Emperor Augustus, "dying quickly and without suffering in the arms of his wife, Livia, experienced the 'euthanasia' he had wished for."[5] The word "euthanasia" was first used in a medical context by Francis Bacon in the 17th century, to refer to an easy, painless, happy death, during which it was a "physician's responsibility to alleviate the 'physical sufferings' of the body." Bacon referred to an "outward euthanasia"—the term "outward" he used to distinguish from a spiritual concept—the euthanasia "which regards the preparation of the soul."[6]…

    Euthanasia

    Euthanasia is defined as an intentional killing by an act or omission of person whose life is felt is not to be worth living. It is also known as ‘Mercy Killing’ which is an act where the individual who is in an irremediable condition or has no chances of survival as he is suffering from painful life, ends his life in a painless manner. It is a gentle, easy and painless death. It implies the procuring of an individual’s death, so as to avoid or end pain or suffering, especially of individuals suffering from incurable diseases. Oxford dictionary defines it as the painless killing of a person who has an incurable disease or who is in an irreversible coma. According to the House of Lords select Committee on Medical Ethics, it is “a deliberate intervention under taken with the express intention of ending life to relieve intractable suffering”. Thus it can be said that Euthanasia is the deliberated and intentional killing of a human being by a direct action, such as lethal injection, or by the failure to perform even the most basic medical care or by withdrawing life support system in order to release that human being from painful life. It is basically to bring about the death of a terminally ill patient or a disabled. It is resorted to so that the last days of a patient who has been suffering from such an illness which is terminal in nature or which has disabled him can peacefully end up his life and which can also prove to be less painful for him. Thus the basic intention behind euthanasia is to ensure a less painful death to a person who is in any case going to die after a long period of suffering. Euthanasia is practiced so that a person can live as well as die with dignity. In brief, it means putting a person to painless death in case of incurable diseases or when life become purpose less or hopeless as a result of mental or physical handicap.…

    In October of 1939, Louis Repouille chloroformed his thirteen-year-old son described as "an incurable imbecile." The boy was deformed and mute since birth and therefor bedridden. Due to a brain tumor, he became blind. Two months afterward, the father was found guilty of manslaughter in the second degree. No man or woman can honestly say that this boy should have stayed alive to suffer inevitably or that his father should have sanely watched him. Euthanasia is the right for any human being who is terminally ill to find the means to end his or her life. Mentally stable adults, who are deathly ill, have a right to die.…

    Euthanasia

    A topic that has been pressing for the past couple of decades has been the ethical/immoral use of ‘Euthanasia’. For those who don’t know, Euthanasia is defined as the act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection “ Actively” or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment” Passively” (Manning 1998). This leads me to ask myself a question, “Is Euthanasia an ethical request to end pain, and suffering, or just a poor admit to commit suicide?” People argue that euthanasia is conflicting with a person’s right to life. A person’s right to life is a phrase that describes the belief that a human being has an essential right to live. This means that by saying that someone should be euthanized, we are violating this right to life and it is immoral. In turn, there are some instances where Euthanasia makes sense, we don’t want to see our loved in pain right?…

    Somali National and Regional State is one of the emerging regional states among the nine regions in Ethiopia. In the region, the education system is characterized by high stagnation and wastage which results in highest rate of adult illiteracy, dropout, repetition (wastage) and lowest completion rate in all level of schooling compared to other regions. This is due to low quality of education which is attributed to low quality of teachers, low quality of text books, poor school facilities, regular drought, food insecurity, and mobile way of life in many localities in the region. According to UN (2010) Ethiopia Millennium Development Goal Report, despite impressive progress and improvement in the education sector addressing 100% enrollment and completion, rate across the regions remains a challenge. As per the report, this is particularly true for pastoral and semi pastoral areas of Afar and Somali regions. In Somali region, Gross Enrollment Rate had increased from 32.7% in 2007/08 to 63.8% in 2009/010. This increase is the result of government’s continued focus given to the region in its development plan as well as the development of informal education programs for out of school young’s, mobile and community schools for pastoral areas and national programs of Alternative Basic Education (ABE).…
