Euthanasia Is The Painless Killing Of Someone

Although, pain can be excoriating and unfathomable thus, leaves the patient with no choice but to live with it and contemplate whether to terminate his or her life by performing euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. Apparently, the patient has right to die if he or she cannot endure physical or mental pain. Imagine, a patient is just barely lingering on the battle between life and death, one should able to make a decision to move into eternity with dignity, without suffering or pain, with their loved one present. So I could consider this technique as killing/letting die because the patient requests physician and physician has a duty to respect patient’s request by letting him/her to die. Killing or letting die does not matter as long as the patient requests to the physician.

Why are adults suffering from a terminal illness not allowed to choose to end their life on their terms? From debates arising since the early 1900s to today in modern society, only a total of six states have legalized death with dignity including Oregon, Colorado, Washington, Vermont, California, and Montana where it is only legalized through a Supreme Court ruling. The controversy of allowing the process or not arises from various perspectives; people against legalizing death with dignity argue that the process is against their morals and religious beliefs whereas people who want the process legalized argue that everyone should have the right to end their life on their own terms. By allowing physician-assisted suicide terminally ill patients

If someone has a life threating disease and wishes death, it should be granted to them. The prolonging of the suffering of dying patients is an unethical practice that should be stopped. Euthanasia as of today in the majority of states is illegal. My opinion on Euthanasia is that it should be legalized because the patients get to die with dignity, on their own terms

People of the United States of America have basic human rights. Among them are the rights to education and democracy, freedoms of speech, thought, and expression, and the right to life. However, currently, there is no right to die present in the U.S. The right to die is defined as the right of persons to choose natural death and refuse any medical measures to prolong their lives under the circumstances of terminal illnesses and the unlikeliness of them getting well (“Right-to-die”). “Death with Dignity” laws are present in a few states such as Oregon, Washington, Vermont, California, and Montana via court decision, but these laws are still not recognized on the federal level. For a terminally ill person, it is often not an option to move to one of these states to execute the right to die since the law has strict residency requirements, including state Driver License, filed state tax returns, lease or property ownership documentation (“Public Health’s Role”). Thus, the persons, being weak physically and mentally are forced medical care to prolong their lives by reducing the quality of them without any hope for recovery. Unmanageable health care costs become a burden on the family members and loved ones of the patients. Terminally ill patients should have a choice to die on their own terms to avoid further unbearable pain, to prevent the demolition of the quality of their lives, and to stop the sufferings of their loved ones.

The “Right to Die” law is not as complicated as people try to make it. For those who are terminally ill, elderly with Alzheimers, or being kept alive, it can be a very important and useful law for them to have access to. This law is only legal in 3 states, Oregon, Washington, and Montana. It is a law that has been etablished and made available to those who do not wish to live in a vegetative state, die in severe pain, or not knowing those around them. The law says that the person has the right to end their lives when there are circumstances that will affect them having a meaningful and productive life. The way the law is written, “it does allow mentally competent adults who declare their intentions in writing, and have been diagnosed as

The people of the United States of America have Civil Rights and stated in the Civil Rights the people have the right to die. They mostly only give this right to terminally ill patients for they have a serious terminal illness and they endure a lot of pain that they can not handle anymore. “The Court concluded that “we are confronted with a consistent and almost universal tradition that has long rejected the asserted right, and continues explicitly to reject it today, even for terminally ill, mentally competent adults”” (Court Cases Assisted Suicide). Civil

A patient with terminally ill disease being in critical stage may be suffering from immense about of pain each day of their life. They have the right to request euthanasia that completely ends that suffering. Euthanasia is the painless killing of an patient with incurable disease or painfully disease. In an article by Vinod Sinha, he explains what euthanasia is used for and how exactly it works. He states, "the intent is to end the patient’s life, while in the administration of pain medications that may also hasten death; the intent is to relieve suffering." The intent of those medication is to help relive patient's suffering which is what the patient desires. The pain each day the patient suffers from helps motivate him or her to accept the option to proceed with assisted suicide or euthanasia. Because euthanasia is painless, patients would prefer to die painlessly rather than dying painfully due to their terminal disease. And as basic human rights, the patient has the right to request a painless death to relive the suffering and

Euthanasia is a humane way to die. Euthanasia is painless and if there is no euthanasia, terminal patients will end life in excruciating pain. Euthanasia is a way to “save” the patient from living the rest of their lives in pain. Some terminal patients would much rather die a painless death than finish their lives in agony

In conclusion I believe that euthanasia should be legalized. But as with anything else that the government grants it should be taking under deep consideration. I believe that a person should file a request to administer euthanasia then it should undergo an investigation and if the investigation comes out with all good intentions go for it. Even for animals most people don’t look at animals a living things but they are too. If you have an animal and you really can’t take care of it take it to a shelter. Or post up fliers or post on the internet inquiring if anyone wants a pet.

Imagine yourself suffering from a terminal illness and going through unimaginable pain but you're able to stop it, that is if it were legal.The solution is euthanasia, euthanasia is Euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide is only legal in 6 states. Even then the patients must be terminally ill and have 6 months left to live and in one state its required for a court to approve of it first. The question is should it be allowed in more states with less strict laws? Euthanasia should be allowed in more states because it allows many patients to not having to go through all the pain and suffering for several months. As of now, 55% of terminally ill patients die in pain. With the help of euthanasia, that number could drastically drop. Allowing people

Euthanasia should be banned in all states of the country. It should be banned because doctors are under oath to protect human life. Also all life is precious so a doctor should not be able to kill them. The last reason it should be banned is because once your decision is final there is no going back, you stay dead.

Euthanasia is already legal in the Netherlands, India, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, and Colombia. Euthanasia is legal in the U.S. states of Vermont, Oregon, Washington, California, and Montana. In Belgium, both the patient and the doctor decide whether it is best, and I believe that the U.S. should take a similar approach, where the patient and the doctor should really communicate. Euthanasia should be available to humans, but only under certain guidelines and all cases should be investigated into before the person is

Discussing how we want to die is common. With the numerous ways we can leave this life why not have it quick and painless? By assisting the patient, euthanasia will provide a painless death from those suffering from an incurable or painful disease. However, not everyone agrees with this procedure. The debate between those who believe this should be legalized and those who say this is morally wrong has been going on for centuries. Besides these beliefs, should people die a painful death?

or in an irreversible coma.” The practice of Euthanasia is illegal in most countries. In fact

As American citizens, we are protected by individual liberties and the Bill of Rights. The purpose of the Bill of Rights is simple; it is to ensure that the American citizens are guaranteed a substantial number of personal freedoms. What if a person’s dying wish was to die on his or her own terms? Dying on peoples own terms, seems like it would be a constitutional freedom, but sadly, it is not. Image a loved one, a friend, or a family member struck with immeasurable pain faced with a terminal and intolerable illness. This patient would have to go through agonizing pain to fight a battle they cannot win, for the disease has already won. When faced with pain and death, neither the government, nor doctors should have a say other than the patients themselves when choosing to end their life. The decision or ‘the Right To Die’ is solely for that person to make. The decision to end one’s life should be a personal freedom.
