Euthanasia – a “good death” or “legalized murder”? Opposite opinions are here

Euthanasia – a “good death” or “legalized murder”, has its supporters and opponents. 

Politicians, doctors and seriously ill people bring their arguments “for” and “against”.

FOR

Doctors, scientists, public people, patients:

“Most of the scientists of the world have come to the conclusion that euthanasia is not contrary to the universal principles, but the final decision should belong to the patient, as in the case of incompetence of the latter – to his family. I think this is more humane point of view.”

But I repeat, euthanasia refers to the tense dilemmas of bioethics, when persuasive arguments “for” and “against”are confronted.

“If doctors are able to decide on the inadvisability of sustaining the life of disabled patients because they believe that they have no reason to live, why should they delay their death with no good reason?”

“Organization “For a dignified death” believes that the decision to terminate life and treatment should be based on the conscious will of terminally ill people

…People who fear to lose the capacity in the future, may enforce their will, leaving an appropriate testament.”

“Euthanasia, painless death – it is a charity, it is good. Have you ever seen the terrible suffering and pain that cancer or paralyzed patients have to endure? Did you see, did you feel the pain of mothers who have had a baby, freak, with an incurable pathology? If so, you will understand me “…

AGAINST

Doctors, scientists, church:

“The fact that people today are in favor of euthanasia in polls, is explained only by their fear of the future depend on the tubes and intravenous lines. Of course, they can be understood, but still it is necessary to keep the taboo against killing . Removal of this taboo can cause serious consequences for the society.”

“Fear of loneliness before the death and the fear of pain is very great, but with the help of professional pain therapy people can cope with almost any pain”.

“We can not control the execution of even the most perfect law on euthanasia. The killings related to inheritance, property, any gain, will get the legal cover. We will achieve the number of murders increased only.”

“From the point of view of the church, euthanasia is a suicide, which means the unpardonable sin. For the believer, even dying suffering are good, because it is the remission of sins.

Suicide is a step of despair, rejection of faith and God. And hope for a miracle, that medicine suddenly will make a breakthrough, and the person will be saved, must always be.
