La Eutanasia Es Un Acto

Moreover, from the legislation perspective, the height of arbitrariness, injustice and abuse is reached if euthanasia is legalized, since there is no sufficient legal resort to exercising euthanasia. It is accepted the possibility that even other people may sign a request for euthanasia on behalf of the incapacitated patient and in the presence of witnesses. In addition, the law doesn't provide any specific punishment against physicians giving euthanasia without the necessary requisites. The choice of euthanasia becomes serious when it takes the form of a murder committed by

Euthanasia has been one of the most controversial and debatable topics in recent years. Even though the debate about euthanasia seems to be very complex and problematic, it is important to analyze very deeply some problems and questions related to this issue in order to indicate adequate solutions in terms of possible legislation. First step is to identify the proper definition of euthanasia as an act of causing a person's death to end unbearable pain and suffering. In addition, there are many forms of euthanasia; categorizing those forms and highlighting the development of understanding this concept over time, is necessary to understand, that involuntary euthanasia is unacceptable as it violets the basic human rights.

The authors suggest that the euthanasia has been proposed as the last resource a person has to relieve pain and die with dignity. However under the legal system in Colombia and the social conditions the country presents, making euthanasia legal has negative repercussions as well. The article describes a number of steps that a terminal ill patient in Colombia must fulfil to be qualifying for euthanasia. However those steps are not necessary follow in all cases since the health care in Colombia only benefits those who can afford it. Consequently, Mendoza and Herrera affirm that the practice of euthanasia in Colombia can become the only solution available for most patients, since the government could abuse of the legality of the procedure to avoid social burden. The article makes a critic to the way the Colombia government is trying to replace palliative care for euthanasia, instead of offering what patients really

In the decades after 1519, the Spaniards created the distinctive colonial society of New Spain. Through this paper I will discuss the features of this new society, how it benefitted the Spanish, and its toll on the native populations using evidence and facts found in out textbook, The American Promise: A Concise History and an article from the Economist Newspaper titled, Americas:1519: The Conquest. It started in the sixteenth century when the New World helped Spain become the most powerful monarchy in both Europe and the Americas. Then there was the conquest of Mexico that ended greatly for the powerful Spain but not so much the native people of Mexico. This

In a constant state of mental nepantilism, la mestiza is a product of the transfer of the cultural and spiritual values of one group to another. Cradled in one culture, sandwiched between two cultures, staddling all three cultures and their value systems, la mestiza undergoes a struggle of flesh, a struggle of borders, an inner war. Like all people, we recognize the version of reality that our culture communicates. The coming together of two self-consistent but habitually incompatible frames of reference causes a cultural collision. We attempt to block with opposition in terms of culture, but it is not enough to stand on opposite position. The counterstance refutes the dominant coulture’s view and beliefs, and, for this, they become someties aggressive, but it is not a way of life. Once we decide how we behave, there are enormous possibilities.

Patients suffering from terminal illnesses, battle feeling worthless and hopeless on a daily basis. This is due to our jurisdiction forcing them to live. The number of people suffering continues to increase. Although a doctor’s position is to prolong life, euthanasia should be considered in certain cases. Because of the advances in technology euthanasia and physician assisted suicide are now an option for terminally ill patients who are going to suffer from an incurable and painful disease or are in an irreversible coma. Euthanasia and physician assisted suicide should be legalized because the public supports it, it would only be used for patients who are terminally ill, and it alleviates unnecessary suffering. The word euthanasia originates

“The Zinacanteco Indians of Highland Chiapas have drawn on their prehistoric part, their four centuries under Spanish conquerors, and their current confrontation with the modern world in fashioning their present way of life”1. Consequently, it is quite clear that the Zinacantan language, Tzotzil, is affected by this unique blending of cultures. Language is, of course, a key feature of the Zinacantecos' religion, but religion is not an isolated concept in the Zinacantecos' society. It is, indeed, closely related to the economy and the social life in general. Nevertheless, for the purpose of this paper, I will consider it as a distinctive part of the society, even if sometimes, it is inevitable to bind religion with another aspect of life. It

Voluntary Euthanasia has been considered a controversial topic for many decades. The idea of committing an act that involves the taking of human life is not one that many people would care to discuss openly. The main argument is that a person who has been diagnosed with an incurable illness and is in extreme pain and their ability to move has been limited, while that person still has control over their destiney should they be allowed take their own life (Bowie, R.2001). The worldwide debate weather one should be allowed to end a life is still one of the biggest ethical issues. The attempt to providing the rights of the individual is in conflict with the moral values of society. Voluntary Euthanasia has been highly rejected by many religious and pro-life institutions.

While many define euthanasia as physician-assisted suicide with “informed and voluntary consent” or “a gentle and easy death,” (80) others view it in a more demeaning light, but with reasonable concerns. From its beginning rooted in the fifteenth century to the recent efforts for its legalization, the practice of euthanasia has become a very controversial issue. In J Donald Boudreau’s commentary, “Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia,” he argues against legalizing euthanasia because it would challenge the traditional medical values, ideals, and instruction of healing.

Rising above politics, propaganda, and name-calling, A Vanished World provides a hopeful meditation on how relations among these three faith groups have gone wrong and some ideas on how to make their interactions right. This book is not a conventionally styled history of the kings, battles and dynasties of Spain from 711 to 1492, but a work that makes medieval Spain’s thrilling and horrific stories about the adaptation and collision who the three great monotheistic faiths that

Euthanasia is a word that comes from ancient Greece and it refers to “good death”. In the modern societies euthanasia is defined as taking away people’s lives who suffer from an incurable disease. They usually go through this process by painlessness ways to avoid the greatest pains that occurs from the disease. A huge number of countries in the World are against euthanasia and any specific type of it. One of the most important things being discussed nowadays is whether euthanasia should be legalized or not. This essay will focus on comparing positive and negative aspects of euthanasia in order to answer to the question whether euthanasia should be legal or not.

The “Right to Die” (Euthanasia) should be further looked into as an option for terminally ill patients and not considered unethical. There has been an issue concerning the topic of “Human Euthanasia” as an acceptable action in society. The research compiled in conjunction with an educated opinion will be the basis for the argument for voluntary Euthanasia in this paper. Patients suffering from an incurable illness, exhausting all medical treatments, should be given the freedom of choice to continue their path of suffering or end it at their own will. “The Right to die” is not suicide, as you are fully aware that death will be certain, as Euthanasia spares the individual of additional pain.

Like any other society, Paz explains that the New Spain has been defined by its ability to cope with its past, thus opening the doors to the future, by analyzing the society’s stance and desires of what this future should look like. While this is the case, she expresses concern that the Mexicans do not have sufficient knowledge on their past. This is demonstrated by the fact that not all Mexicans are aware of their history and they “live between myth and negation” (11). He then goes on to demonstrate his understanding of Mexican history by analyzing its birth in the Aztec state, the loss of its independence in 1821, and the discovery of the New Spain, which was also a period when there was nothing of vital significance to the Mexicans. According to Paz’s analysis, the New Spain is the mirror of a modern Mexico and this can be evidenced by the characteristics of the Mexican culture, religion, and language of today.
