Anyone, the socially unproductive, the socially unwanted, will be considered useless; will kill off our own species, our morals. It is a way of mocking human life, turning ourselves into God, deciding who is fit to live and die”. Simply speaking, the legalization of assisted death is an act of legitimizing suicide and an inherent consent for killing. In addition there is a huge drawback, which people would start abusing this law and start committing murders
Claude Noel Yamgueu Prof. Landrus EN102 09/16/2013 Euthanasia Exploratory According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, euthanasia is the act or practice of intentionally ending the life of someone who is very sick or injured in order to prevent any more suffering. The 20th century was a time that saw the development of the modern hospital system, a development that contributed in the emergence of the euthanasia debate. Regardless of whether or not a person is in favor of euthanasia, many people do want a dignified death for themselves and their loved ones. However, the debate encompasses many interesting sides about whether or not humans have the right to die. The three main views of this issue include the pro-euthanasia, the con-euthanasia
Allowing a human life to intentionally be ended disregards the sacredness of human life and has no direct difference to murder despite the intentions to prevent pain. Furthermore, euthanasia would become the first step of a slippery slope whereby value of human life will be depreciated and reduced to economical and personal convenience. However, these farfetched consequences cannot surpass the empathetic argument of mercy on the patient whereby quality of life overrides quantity. The most convincing argument that renders the killing of terminally ill morally permissible is the understanding that all humans possess autonomy. John Stuart Mill argues in (On Liberty (1859), ‘The only part of the conduct of anyone, for which a citizen is amenable to society, is that which concerns others.
Secondly, balance in the monitoring of high-risk patients was inadequate. Staff failed to implement additional monitoring for Mr. B. The patient needed extra monitoring due to had an increased dosage due to high tolerance to the prescribed sedatives. Leaving an untrained family member to attend to a patient in respiratory crisis was not only unsafe; it was in violation of established conscious-sedation protocol. Mr. B. was vulnerable when he was left unattended.
He explains that the death penalty is just an act of torture and is too horrible to be used by our civilized society, stating that it is “torture until death” (220). He goes on to argue that the death penalty is unjust in its practice because it is applied in arbitrary and also in discriminatory ways. Quoting, “Remain grants that the death penalty is a just punishment for some murderers, but he thinks that justice does not require the death penalty for murderers” (221). He goes on to say that life imprisonment can be an alternative decision that stratifies the requirements of the justice
• Service users too weak as a result of illness to attend a health facility. • Service users too young to access services without help. There are many individuals who require services have mobility difficulties. This may be because of illnesses, elderly or wheelchair users find it hard to get to services. Service settings must be designed for every individual who finds it hard to get to services.
Physician assisted suicide should not be legalized for the simple fact many would give up and take the easy way out. There is currently a pervasive assumption that if assisted suicide and/or voluntary euthanasia (AS/VE) were to legalized, then doctors would take responsibility for making the decision that these interventions were indicated, for prescribing the medication, and (in euthanasia) for administering it .Richard Huxable remarks “that homicide law encompasses various crimes, so prosecutors can choose charges to suit the circumstances. Yet one thing is clear: mercy killing is still killing, equally, murder is murder” Physician assisted suicide is nothing more than cold blooded
If the embryo is a human person, killing it to benefit others is a clear-cut evil. It treats a distinct human being, with his or her own inherent moral worth, as nothing more than a disposable instrument to be used for someone else's benefit." Although, what Scott Kusendorg states is true, he doesn't clarify the diseases many people around the world suffer. With a wide range of diseases around the world,cancer continues to be a major disease for those in developed countries. The numbers for those that are dying of cancer in the world are increasing.
The way of looking at this is giving medical care and love and compassion to these people. Talking to them out of suicide as stated in an article. Also most patients who choose to go with assisted suicide are in dread that they are disturbances and can no longer enjoy the little things in life because of there physical state. Perhaps medical care is what they need, except in cases where the illness is physically unbearable then assisted suicide could become in use. This case is still raising questions for
Do not apply for a managed health care plan. Although it may be a less expensive health care plan, it is not the best type of health care. The quality of the treatment an individual with managed care may be provided is sometimes terrible and is often times unnecessary. Many times a patient with managed care will receive treatment from many different physicians. They may never see the same doctor twice.
