My Views On Euthanasia

Euthanasia is a very controversial and it seems obscure at times but i can earnestly say i agree with the concept of euthanasia. Euthanasia is way of dying painlessly and like in the past article that we read about the dad in Italy pulling the plug on his daughter because she had been living that way for 17 years already. That was obvious that his daughter was not going to get better because it had been 17 years already and her family was suffering to see her there. Even though they knew she was alive but it might have never seemed that way because she wasn't really living her life, she was in a deep dark sleep in an abyss. A renunciation of them is better than to see them laying in a hospital and not being able to talk to them. I think that if it's their time to leave this world they have to go and you have to accept it and move on. I know it might be impalpable and it might be hard for you but it's the best thing for the other person. Like in Of Mice and Men, I think George did the right thing for Lennie because eventually he was gonna get caught and he might have died very painfully but George knew it was the right for him. If someone is going to pull the plug on you, it is better if it's someone who knows that that would be what you wanted all along and they should know that it's the best thing for you. There are some exceptions to euthanasia. One exception to euthanasia is when people do it to be malevolent and make seem like a murder but that's not right. One of those exceptions is if you know that they will recover and they will be back to normal. Another exception is if they have said that if something where to happen to them, then they would want to keep living. Then in that case no one has the right to end your life if you wanted to keep living. Even though euthanasia seems harsh and inhumane, you should think of it as actually helping someone exit this world in a peace non painful way.

Whaddup Samantha!

I agree with your stance on euthanasia. I think that if your not going to be able to recover and get back to life then the best choice might be to plug the plug and let them finally rest in peace. I also agree with the fact that when some kill others, it's not considered euthanasia, just murder, which isn't acceptable in any circumstance whatsoever.

I agree if ur not gonna be able to live ur life and just be stuck on a bed for 17 years its better to just end it. Theres really no point.

Samantha Molly Gibbons I agree with your stance on euthanasia. I too think that if someone is ill and there chances of recovering are slim to none then it may be for the best that you pull the plug. I also agree that when someone kills another person just for meaness then I would not consider that euthanasis I consider that murder. With that having been said I think that Euthanasia is a somewhat practical way to end a life.
