      Euthanasia: Is It Ethical or  Unethical?


                                                Ethical Dilemma



                                                  



What is Euthanasia?


Euthanasia is the practice of killing sick or injured people in a painless way for reasons of    mercy.

For example, If someone has a disease and can't take the pain anymore, they ask a physician to end their lives with a lethal injection because they don't want to suffer from the pain anymore.



Euthanasia is Ethical?

Supporters believe that allowing people to have a painless death is better than forcing them to continue with their lives and continue to suffer. Even thought others think it's unethical to use Euthanasia, We believe that if the patient wants to use Euthanasia, they can do it. It's their right to choose when they want to die. Also, Euthanasia is legal here in Canada. We have the right from the government to use Euthanasia. So if people have a disease and can't take the pain anymore, they could choose to use Euthanasia if they want to end their lives without any pain. It's their choice. Not others.

Euthanasia is Unethical?

People believe that using Euthanasia is unethical because they think that physicians have the power to decide when a patient's life is not worth living anymore. So it's almost as if a physician assisted a patient's suicide. There's a reason why Euthanasia is illegal in other countries in the world like Netherlands. In 1990, around 1,000 patients were killed for using Euthanasia in Netherlands. Even if it was a patient's choice to use Euthanasia, they still think it's unethical because If people are sick or injured and their suffering from the pain, they shouldn't be using Euthanasia to have a painless death. They should be letting life to decide when their lives will be away on this planet instead of using a lethal injection to end your lives and to make the pain disappear.
