The ethical issue is Euthanasia, there are many groups that support or oppose this issue. Euthanasia is the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. The different viewpoints are based around whether it is humane to assist someone in dying and whether it should be illegal for someone to assist the death of someone who has a terminal illness and are suffering incurable pain. Groups that oppose the issue generally believe that it is inhumane to end someone 's life early, these groups generally believe these people should be given care and as much comfort as possible until their last days. Groups that support the issue generally believe that if someone has lost their mental state or are suffering unbearable pain that cannot be cured, that they should be allowed the option of euthanasia because it is inhumane to make someone suffer unbearable pain if they do not need to. An ethical issue brings systems of morality and principles into conflict, ethical issues are more subjective and opinionated and generally cannot be solved with facts, laws and truth. Euthanasia is an ethical issue because there are two equally unacceptable options. It is considered wrong

The approach I took to solve this moral dilemma was Deontology. The biggest issue this case deals with is the duty of the veterinarian as a professional. In his ethical contract they are supposed to do what the client wants no matter if they think there is a better option. It is the veterinarian's duty to offer other suggestions like he did to maybe help the dog, but if the client does not feel confident about the evidence given for other options, then the vet should have respected her decision to euthanize the dog. Although there was a chance that the dog could live, the client specifically said that she did not want the dog to suffer through the treatment, which the vet

the problem is much more pressing than it has in the past, and both the

Veterinarians that kill unwanted animals from shelters are violating this oath that they take before medical school for the mere convenience of shelters to provide more space for other animals that may have a higher adoption chance. For example, a dog named Josh that was housed at a shelter, was put down based on his aggression towards some co-workers. Additionally, although Josh was aggressive to a select few, there were a few workers that he absolutely adored and enjoyed spending time with. As a result, Josh was put down simply because he had a history of aggression that could have been treated through psychological and physical training (Arluke 140). This treatment of animals is unnecessary and unethical, especially on the side of the veterinarian.

We all heard of the term of euthanizing an animal to end the animals suffering and pain which is a merciful killing. If euthanizing an animal is moral and legal how does that differ from euthanizing a patient that is suffering as well? The reason we decide to euthanize our pets is not because we don’t love them anymore, but we want them to end their pain and suffering. Furthermore, pets become part of the family and choosing to euthanize them is not an easy decision, but in regards to the pet’s best interest, euthanizing them will be more beneficial. The owner will not have to see their beloved pet suffering and have peace in mind that their pet is not

Some veterinarians are seeing more requests for convenience euthanasia due to the growing money problems and stress that family’s sometime face. “Philosophers, such as Steve Sapontzis, has argued that one does cause harm to an animal even by killing it painlessly,

The type of euthanasia that will be discussed is voluntary euthanasia and there are several areas which must be covered before coming to a conclusion as to whether this should be carried out. The first I'll mention is 'personhood'. This is the essence of someone which makes them a person, distinguishing between us and the animals. There are several other aspects of personhood including the ability to communicate and interact with others and also

Many things in medical practices have been seen as inhumane or cruel and then outlawed. But when it comes to veterinary medicine, most people don't care to know what is happening because the patients are “just animals.” Many debates and arguments are brought up over the controversial practices or procedures in veterinary medicine. The procedures that are most commonly brought up are declawing, ear cropping, and tail docking. These procedures are literally mutilations to animals for human benefit. People don't fully understand what the procedures entail and turn a blind eye to it because for some reason it still is legal. These procedures are entirely unregulated in the United States. They are mostly for cosmetic purposes or for personal convenience.

An example of why euthanizing is acceptable is because it ends the animals suffering.In the blog “Is it ethical to euthanize your dog?(2011) by Elliot D. Cohen,here's an example from the blog that supports my point of view.For instance,he says “Of course it was ethical.He was suffering.”(Par.5).Cohen’s quote backs up my reasoning because it’s pretty straight forward.The quote states that the animals are suffering so it’s alright to do it.Another quote from Cohen's blog that supports me is when he writes “He was unable to hold down water and began vomiting every time he drank.”(Par.2).This quote proves my statement of the animals suffering.If it couldn't

It is legal for humans to decide whether or not their pet should be euthanized. These reasons may vary. According to Pet Euthanasia, people decide to put their animals down because, of inconveniences, living changes, and severe sicknesses. The owner of a pet may move their home to a different location. Many different places have different rules that may vary one including not allowing pets. In this case some owners decide to euthanize their beloved pet to simply get rid of a problem. An owner may also come across inconveniences due to their pet. For example, when leaving for a relaxing holiday vacation, the cost to board your pet would cost too much.

Euthanasia is a popular debate among our society today. It raises major concerns in terms of morals and ethics. Some may argue that euthanasia is morally wrong, while others think as human beings; we have the right to self-determination and should be able to choose our own fate. Growing up in a Catholic family and being raised as a true believer of God, I think that euthanasia causes an ethical dilemma.

Do you think euthanizing animals is an appropriate reaction to unwanted animals? There has been many arguments over this issue, for reasons such as shelters, strays, or even when humans simply cannot afford these animals anymore. My opinion on this issue on euthanizing should not be allowed. Dogs are being punished for human mistakes because humans are simply breeding them for no reason.

Cohen argues that humans may morally use animals for biomedical research, the study of biological processes and disease, because animals lack rights. He defines rights as moral claims that one human can hold against another, which are bound in both law as well as in comprehension of right and wrong. As animals lack self-conscious placement in a higher ethical order with the ability to weigh needs of self against the needs of others, they therefore lack the ability to have rights. (Cohen 1986: p. 215) To support the morality of animal research, I will show how it has led to many successful treatments of disease in humans, due to the common physiology that we share with other animals. Furthermore, I will argue that the pain caused on research

It can become a go-to option when pet owners can’t afford medical treatment. Not all families can afford expensive medical bills for their pets. Unlike human health care, there is not many financing options for pet medical care. As a result, some owners may just decide to euthanize their pets because they can’t afford to pay for veterinary treatment.1
