Should We Legalize Euthanasia to a Person Who Is in a Vegetative State?
Should we legalize euthanasia to a person who is in a vegetative state?
Many people in many countries are suffering for no reason at the end of their lives. They cannot die even though they want themselves to be killed painlessly in the situation that they will never get better. Euthanasia is the practice of terminating the life of a person or animal in a painless or minimally painful way, usually by lethal injection. Euthanasia is a controversial issue in these days because of conflicting moral feeling for individuals, different cultures, ethnicities, religions and other groups. Some people think that it 's the best for patients who are going through endless pain. Others think that the process is murder. However, Euthanasia has more positive aspects than negative ones, so at least euthanasia to a person who is in a vegetative state should be legalized all over the world.
Some people say that Euthanasia would threaten individual’s right in that it could result in abuse by mentally unstable patients or misused for murder. Euthanasia should be prohibited in any circumstances because it is not ethical, not constitutional, and possibly misused for the purpose of murder and suicide.
First, Euthanasia is taking away someone 's life. Taking away another 's life is wrong, even if the other person wants it. Just like death penalty, a human shouldn 't kill anyone for any reason. If they do it then it can be murder. Although the patient’s family asks to do it, it could be murder. They wouldn 't be able to know what he wants to do because they are patients in a vegetative state. Still, lots of doctors just kill them under the family 's permission. What if he didn 't want to die or he had something he wanted to do? That would be ignoring the patient 's rights to choose by themselves, which goes against the Law of Human Rights.
Second, there are always chances that the patient who is in a vegetative state can get over the disease. Maybe the patient can get lucky, or there is
