Topic > Euthanasia - 974

Everyone has experienced a time when the pressure is just too much, the pain is too unbearable, or nothing ever feels right. It's life, life contains tricks, paths and obstacles. There would be no life without it, the same concept applies to medical matters. In his essay J. Gay-Williams addresses the reasons why euthanasia should not be an option to be legal. He justifies the reason for his position with the fact that illnesses are part of life. Williams' position of ignoring euthanasia is rational because a life is a precious thing to waste or gamble with.J. Gay-Williams, author of the essay "The Wrongfulness of Euthanasia" defines euthanasia as. "intentionally taking the life of a supposedly hopeless person. Whether the life is one's own or that of another, taking it is still euthanasia." (704) Williams delves into the classification of euthanasia by explaining the different concept. For example, death resulting in a terminally ill patient receiving the wrong dose of medicine. It is not considered euthanasia. Even if a patient receives treatment that doctors believe will improve their condition. But instead of letting the patient die, this is also not an act of euthanasia because the intention is to make the patient feel better. Williams explains the omission of treatment in his essay. What can potentially continue the life of a dying patient is passive euthanasia because: "This phrase is misleading and wrong. In these cases, the person involved is not killed (the first essential aspect of euthanasia), nor is the death of the intended person through the refusal of additional treatment (the third essential aspect of euthanasia may be to spare the person further and unjustified pain, to save him from the humiliations of... middle of paper...). ).The age of euthanasia. The quality of healthcare will decrease. Doctors will not try so hard to save the lives of their patients because it would be an easy way out. Those unfortunate patients who receive a wrong diagnosis would end their lives for no reason. Finally, from a moral perspective, life is a precious gift and has a purpose for everyone. To unnecessarily take away someone's purpose would be cruel and selfish. If it became legal, people's lives would end sooner than necessary and sometimes needlessly. If euthanasia is not legalized, many people with justifiable reasons to end their lives will continue to suffer and be unhappy while remaining alive. Regardless, Williams argues that legalizing euthanasia is invalid. Mainly because the application of euthanasia represents a greater pleasure than the absence of euthanasia.
