MY ISSUE ON
EUTHANASIA
By Scarlet Park-Deere
What is Euthanasia
Classification of Euthanasia-Voluntary or Involuntary
Passive or Active
ACTIVE, VOLANTARY EUTHANASIA
When someone decides to end their life of their own free will
Usually carried out using an Euthanasia machine
Must be performed by the patient - not a doctor
Is suppose to end life peacefully
→DR NITSCHKE HAS ASSISTED 4 PEOPLE TO END THEIR LIVES→DR. NITSCHKE IS AN AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL DOCTOR AND CALLS HIMSELF A ‘HUMANIST’→HE IS ALSO THE FOUNDER OF A GROUP THAT ARE PRO-EUTHANASIA WHICH IS CALLED “EXIT INTERNATIONAL”
DR.PHILLIP NITSCHKEFor Euthanasia
“Prepare yourself now,” Dr Nitschke said. “Work out for yourself a good practical way to end your life.” West Australian Newspaper, Apr 10th 2010
The PROS for EuthanasiaPeople can die with dignity
People can have freedom
People don’t have to take medication that prolongs life
Patients, families and friends don’t have to suffer
“it is never licit to kill another: even if he should wish it, indeed if he request it, hanging between life and death… nor is it licit even when a sick person is no longer able to live“. St. Augustine , Catholic Church
People could exploit others
Could be used as a way of murder
People could just be having a bad day, week, or month and decide they’re ready to die
The CONS against Euthanasia
It is unnatural
WITH EUTHANASIA PROBLEMS
