Question: Is euthanasia wrong? Your answer must contain two parts (i) Give a reflection of 500-750 words answering the following questions: What do you believe?/What is your opinion? I think voluntary euthanasia should be an option available to humans. I think it is inhumane to prolong suffering when the quality of life has diminished to the point where death is preferable. What about terms/definitions? Are they clear? What kind of problems or ambiguities might arise here? The primary term “euthanasia” is defined as the practice of ending a life prematurely to end pain and suffering. Voluntary euthanasia is carried out with the permission of the person whose life is taken; it is generally performed when a person is suffering from a terminal illness or if their health is deteriorating rapidly and they are in a lot of pain. Voluntary euthanasia is ambiguous as there are several methods that fall into this category, such as active voluntary euthanasia (legal in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) when the patient causes his own death with the assistance of a doctor (often instead uses the term assisted suicide) and voluntary passive euthanasia when the measures necessary to maintain life are refused or revoked. One issue that may arise is whether we should ask whether that person's quality of life is sufficiently unbearable that they have the right to die, perhaps someone who is suffering from a disease such as multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's and would like to end their life sooner that the disease progresses; it is assumed that an evaluation is carried out before the procedure. The above terms are clear enough for the reader to adopt and discern them from the terminologies. Why do you have this opinion? What are the main reasons why you think this way?...... middle of paper ...... arise from diseases, infections, epidemics such as HIV or AIDS that can spread if the individual does not is managed appropriately. it could increase the risk of others being affected by the disease, therefore this would harm more people. For the third statement, patients diagnosed with terminal diseases have a close to zero% chance of surviving or leading a normal life, if the patient is an organ donor and the organs are healthy, this can save many lives, a person in vegative state, for example, can remain in a hospital bed for years demonstrates Do you think your reasons are good? Could you make your argument stronger? (ii) A standardized argument that is based on your answers to Part (i). You should include:ConclusionPremises, subpremises (if necessary), and implicit premises (if necessary)Whether premises and subpremises are related and convergent.
