The And The Competent Care

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.

(How to Access and Use Death with Dignity Laws). Even though the patients had decided to end their lives, it still depends on the doctors to make decision for them. The work to be put in a list for an assisted suicide turns out to be very tiring for the patients who are willing to end their suffering very soon. They would be suffering more, as the process requires a lot of works. It is important to legalize assisted killing for those patients who can no longer bear the suffering and for their families who are also in deep agony seeing their loved ones lying on the bed left helpless from the disease they are suffering and whose doctor cannot make better.

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

The next few themes of this article include the discussion of pain, loss of pleasure in life, and the right time to die. The carers felt responsible to prevent their loved ones from experiencing pain and suffering all of their later years of life. They stated that caring for someone they loved with dementia that was extremely unhappy with their quality of life brought up ideas of assisted suicide. They exclaimed that seeing their patient disintegrate in quality of life and in overall health that it was difficult to not consider assisted suicide. Several participants came to a conclusion that their relative was strictly waiting to die because they had suffered enough which made them want to end the pain for them.

The author Fenigsen points out that as humans, “We can solve many problems, but not the ultimate ones.” The author emphasizes with all the new ways of approaching life’s problems and trying to comprise for things in life that used to be unsolvable. Solving them should not be so difficult considering all the new technology we have to help. In reality, when trying to solve the decision of whether to choose how to pass away; he or she has no freedom to choose the way they can pass on. In all honesty it is violating basic human rights. In society it is considered immoral and degrading of human life when implementing the use of medical assisted suicide. It can be looked at as murder in some cases, which can cause lots of issues for families or individuals involved.

Terminally ill individuals suffer during their last days, so most of them decide to end their lives. Physician-assisted suicide is the voluntary termination of one’s own life by the administration of a lethal substance. Some believe that if the physician-assisted suicide is legal in the country, it will give the insurance companies more money, also that some physicians will end patients live without their concern; however, terminally ill individuals shouldn’t suffer and live with pain, likewise the patients live with their body deteriorating and that is not quality of life.

A large percent of terminally ill patients ponder their impending death, no matter the diagnosis. Mental illness or degenerative disabilities are the majority of the cases involved in ‘assisted-suicide,’ which is the process of ending their life with help from another person. Assisted suicide, despite the chronic or degenerative illness, has caused great controversy. The debate arises when the question about whether or not the practice should be legalized is asked. Some say that every person has a God given right to do what they want with their bodies, when they want to do it. Others say that palliative staffs should be focusing on studying better ways to eliminate pain and make the process of passing on easier and more endurable.

Some has argued that the main reason why any person may request assistance suicide are due to pensive sadness of their illness which may result to depression and negative thinking. According to “when patient request assistance with suicide” maskin, argues that terminally ill patient thinking is always occupied with negative mind set towards their condition (1999). This simple means people who request for physician assistance suicide may be due to ineffective treatment of their illness, very expensive of hospital bill and heavy burden of their family to take care of them. Also proponents of this view argues that physician-assisted suicide are morally permissible, based on the fact that autonomy and relief of suffering are important values which

Most everyone sees assisted suicide as morally wrong due to religious beliefs and changing their mind could be an impossible task. Others find it shouldn’t be legalized because too many people will see it as an easy way out, and people who could be cured or don’t even have a medical condition will be wanting to get a physician to give them a lethal dose of medicine too. In this regard, it is possible to suggest introducing legal changes, which could ban the application of assisted suicide without the consent of a patient and his/her relatives. On the other hand, there should be an opportunity for patients and their families to have the option of assisted suicide. At this point, the legislation should admit assisted suicide only in cases, when the further physical life of patients is pointless, for instance, when patients’ life is maintained by special medical equipment and there is no hope of recovery. In fact, such situations are cases, where patients would be dead if it were not for medical machines keeping them alive.

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.

So in this case, assisted death can help the patient as well as his/her family and friends as they won’t have to see their loved one suffer from so much misery. Moreover the method of assisted death allows the patients to die with more dignity and more peacefully as they can choose to be surrounded by family and friends during their last moments. As keeping the patients alive costs the family and government so much money, assisted death helps them cut short their cost of medical care. This has become possible because the cost of producing drugs for assisted death is much more inexpensive than medical care. Informed of patient’s wish ahead of time, sadness and sorrow can become easier to handle for patient’s family and friends. Moreover everyone gets the chance for pacification of family relations, allowing the patient to die in

The downside to the choice is that it may become common place to kill off the elderly or sickly because we have no more use in the world. Patient autonomy should serve as a starting point to the decision of Euthanasia or PAS, Does the patient want to die and why are they making this decision? Then a psychological evaluation should be conducted to make sure the patient is not deciding their fate based on helplessness, depression or any other factors that can be worked out through therapy. A panel of doctors should review the Psychological evaluation criteria and approve it, in order to carry out the patients self-imposed death sentence. The criteria should somewhat safeguard people who have physiological issues that need to be addressed and stops the disposal of the sick and elderly, which some may be refer to them as dead

Freedom, independence and self-autonomy are fundamental rights of a human, This directly pertains to the central notion of an individual's right to live and right to die. A terminally ill patient should not suffer through excruciating pain and discomfort but rather embrace a timely and dignified death, this is implicit in the concept of liberty and self-determination. Despite rapid advancement in medical technology and modern palliative care, some patients suffer from incurable terminal diseases which inflicts destructive pain upon the patient both physically and mentally. They are unable to seek the compassionate relief of pain and suffering that they wish to

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.

There are many ethical issues that the medical field faces daily. One major issue that is a common debate recently is death and dying and the ethical dilemmas associated with this stage in life. There are many different routes a patient can take when they are diagnosed with a terminal illness, two routes that are often up for debate are palliative care and physician assisted suicide. Many ethical concepts are brought up in the debate of these routes of care, sometimes even conflicting one another. Since medicine has advanced over many years we are experiencing a growing population of elders. With this increase in the elderly population, the debate of death and dying has become an important topic to
