Euthanasi The Greek Word For A Good Death

The word Euthanasia comes from the Greek word for a good death. The definition of euthanasia is the practice of assisting someone who is hopelessly sick or injured die quick and as painlessly as possible. This is what people will turn to when they get in a bad accident and cannot recover or someone who develops an untreatable cancer. Using this method has split people into two sides; the people for it, and the people against it. On the topic of euthanasia there is many different arguments: is it ethical, religions, will people try and use it as suicide, or to legalize it and allow people to use it as a planning tool in case they get an unfortunately none cure-able disease later in life, and is it okay to use it on people who cannot give consent.

But people also rebuttal this argument with that the Jewish people didn’t choose to be killed like that and wanted to live. Which brings it to why is it bad for a person to give another person the right to take their life because they have a terminally ill disease and does not want to pay for all the treatments if they will not work to get him back to full health, just get it to where he can live a little longer but put his family through it and they have to watch him slowly fade away. The argument most faced by people that want euthanasia legalized is that it is technically murder. But people must understand to distinguish between prolonging life and prolonging death. Here recently there has been a lot of discussion going on about how euthanasia could be used as a way to help people in the future who might get a terminal illness, like Alzheimer’s or dementia. “‘If I do get dementia, at least the children will know what I want. I can now rest assured that my wishes not to live ‘like that’ will be respected”’ (Nitschke). This is a lady talking about how if she ends up

If they are prolonging death then it might point people towards euthanasia more because they would not want to feel like a burden of their family and have them putting in a lot of money just to keep them a live a little bit longer when there is really no help. Euthanasia is a lot cheaper than the cost of constant doctor visits, Medicare, and hospices. This worries people that cannot decide whether they want to be for or against the legalization of euthanasia because they could be affected by this. People will also say that for euthanasia there is no morally relevant distinction, the libertarian view says, between active and passive euthanasia. And to not allow people that are incoherent the opportunity to be euthanasia is also not morally right because they are just like a new born baby and if it is societies obligation to euthanasia them then it should also be societies obligation to euthanasia incoherent people as well and not only allow the option for people that are coherent and can give a doctor permission to euthanasia them. People also worry about the slippery slope and how the ultimate outcome of legalizing euthanasia. The slippery slope is the empirical claim that about what will actually result from policy of euthanasia. Another main argument might be about how they will take the
