ES 201 Pre-discussion Euthanasia 4/7/09
I believe euthanasia is a very dangerous and actually disturbing idea/proposal.I would first off be concerned for individuals who are terminally ill but wish to fight on with their disease or disability but these wishes are unrecognized or confused by a physician so the physician gives the patient a lethal injection anyways.Some physicians and doctors have been prosecuted and tried in certain situations like this.Doctors should never have the power to help someone kill themselves.Also i don't believe that most individuals who wish to die are completely rational in their thoughts and reasoning during their situation.Most of them instead are usually depressed or crying out for help.Instead, these individuals should receive the proper psychiatric treatment and/or hospice care for their special needs.I'm against euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide mainly because of my religious beliefs.I'm not saying in any way that i've been a devout Christian and lived by the Bible my whole life but it's just wrong to kill yourself before a natural death or freak accident.I believe everyone has a time to die and people are meant to suffer (similar to Jesus Christ) in this life in order to be accepted into the kingdom of heaven.I say natural death or freak accident because i believe those are both part of God's plan.Whereas murder does not fall into the same category for me because that involves one person taking another person's life.But the problem is that life doesn't belong to them and in my mind neither does their own.An individual's life belongs to God in the very end because he created them therefore it is up to God to destroy them.
