Libertarianism Vs Libertarianism

Capital punishment is a difficult subject for a lot of people because many question whether or not it is ethical to kill a convicted criminal. In order to critically analyze whether or not it is ethical, I will look at the issue using a utilitarianism approach because in order to get a good grasp of this topic we need to look at how the decision will impact us in the future. The utilitarianism approach will help us to examine this issue and see what some of the consequences are with this topic of capital punishment. For years, capital punishment has been used against criminals and continues to be used today, but lately this type of punishment has come into question because of the ethical question.

Euthanasia is the practice of ending the life of an individual for the purposes of relieving pain and suffering. Over the years, there has been a big debate about its merits and demerits, and the debate is not about to end anytime soon. However, no matter what side of the debate one supports, it is important to consider a few facts. One, the prolonged stay in hospital is bound to raise medical costs. Two, some medical complications bring suffering and pain to the patient without any possibility of getting back to one 's normal activities of daily living. However, ending the life of a person intentionally may be treated as a serious crime in some jurisdictions. Given these facts, it is evident that making a decision about euthanasia is bound to be a challenging task. Although not everyone might agree, euthanasia is a necessary procedure that relieves the pain and suffering of the patient and rids the family and the government of expensive medical costs that would not necessary improve the life of the patient.

In recent times, there has been much debate about whether or not Euthanasia should be permitted. Voluntary Euthanasia is when terminally ill people wish to have their lives ended with the assistance of medical procedures before nature takes its course. This is because they may be suffering and in great pain, or cannot live a reasonable or comfortable life. Voluntary Euthanasia should be introduced, provided that there are safeguards to stop the system from being misused.

Physician Assisted Suicide has become an enormous debate across the world. It was originally thought to be entirely cruel and immoral, but, as time has passed and medical ethics have been considered, it has slowly gained acceptance. Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS) is a legitimate option for those suffering from painful terminal illnesses. It allows the patient who is suffering to have a choice in the matter of their life, which is valuable when someone is in such a vulnerable place. Legally, the topic has not done extremely well in the past, but in recent years people have acknowledged that legally there is nothing wrong being done. There are laws and regulations that are followed while performing PAS, making it nearly impossible to take advantage of it. Slowly PAS has gained acceptance, from different states, and from general people worldwide. Physician Assisted Suicide is a valid option for terminal patients and should not be criminalized or considered cruel.

The idea of non-voluntary active euthanasia is not such a disaster, as euthanasia itself. The problem that comes into consideration is when and why it should be used. When euthanasia is non-voluntary and active, such as on a patient with dementia, the ethical decision comes into play if there are episodes of clarity and the patient has or has not mentioned what they want to do at the end of life situations. Principles of deontology suggest duty and obligation. A medical professional in such situations have an obligation to fulfill the patient 's wishes. The nature of their obligation does not sway based on what they personally think. Patients with dementia have some moments of clarity, but because their brains are still deteriorating, non-

Nowadays, in the United States, people face many big controversial issues. Besides problems related to the reality of daily life like health care, government intercepting phone calls, raising the minimum wage, gender equality, human rights, equality, anti-racism ... have practical effect on social life. People are also really concerned about the issue of physician-assisted suicide. Physician-assisted suicide (PAS) or euthanasia has become a controversial issue today, and that related to consciousness, choices and decisions about life of people. PAS is an action expressing an intention of ending a life to relieve intractable, persistent, and unstoppable suffering. Another idea, PAS is the

Based on the political quiz that evaluated my stances on certain issues, my political beliefs and interests aligned with Centrist ideology, although slightly leaning to the Left Wing. Despite my upbringing as a strong Republican, the results classifying me as a Centrist did not shock me due the simple fact of maturation and growing more aware of current world and local issues through watching the morning news, reading news articles on the internet or reading The New York Times, and going to high school. Overtime, with these various exposures- a wide variety of political beliefs- I stopped relying on what I just knew from being around my family and hearing only their bias opinions, and instead began analyzing at what I personally believe and

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.

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.

Some people argue that in favor of physician suicide and believe that the decisions about circumstances and time of people death are personal, and that competent people should have the right to choose their own timing and manner of death. Others believe that people shouldn’t suffer, because they are in a lot of pain, have a loss of sense of self and no functional capacities’. So

Libertarians emphasize the individual rights to life, liberty, and property. Likewise, people must be able to choose voluntary association to promote responsibility, equality, and human dignity (Boaz, 1999). For example, in the “Summer Libertarian Camp” podcast, people expressed desires to buy unregulated foods and products. They believe customers are to regulate markets, which balance out the supply and demand. Libertarians view government and Internal Revenue Service as unconstitutional entities. Those institutions confiscate ordinary citizen's profits without providing adequate services in return. For example, California has many regulations and laws that are ineffective, drive up the prices of essential goods, and promote free market inefficiencies

The painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable painful disease or in an irreversible coma is a practice is known as euthanasia and illegal in most countries. There are many concerns about euthanasia that arise many debates such as voluntary, non-voluntary, involuntary, passive and active Euthanasia. Within the topic alone there are tons of pro’s and con’s such as the right to die, patient suffering end-of-life, religious concerns, Physician- Assisted Suicide, and Hippocratic oath and prohibition of killing. Not to mention, passive and active euthanasia.

Traditional and Libertarian sexual morality differ in many ways and are in most cases considered complete polar opposites. Traditional sexual morality refers to a form of morality in which all sexual activity outside of marriage is morally wrong and should be prohibited by anyone who follows it. Libertarian sexual morality refers to a form of morality in which all sexual activity is allowed and is moral, as long as it follows five simple rules. In order to comprehend the similarities within the two sexual moralities, one must understand what these two moralities consist of.

Even though the death penalty can be seen as an extreme and bad way to punish a person for a crime, I agree with the statement that we should still impose it if we can show that criminals deserve to be executed. Ultimately, punishment is a legal device, which can be accepted as morally right, which is why I believe that there is nothing wrong with the death penalty staying in the law system. To justify my reasoning for keeping the death penalty, I looked into the consequentialist outlook of utilitarianism as well as the two camps of consequentialism and the kantian perspective of fairness and justice.

In current times we have made many technological advances that have boosted the medical productivity in hospitals. However, the rapid development of medicine is far from being a long term resolve for many health issues. We have a plethora of people whose quality of life is very low and has no chance of improving. During these situations allowing the person to end their life via euthanasia should be allowed. I will argue that Euthanasia is morally permissible in some cases because there are several moral justifications that argue for ending one’s life.
