Topic > Voluntary and active euthanasia - 1003

Euthanasia has been a topic of debate for a long time. The opinions and views of individuals concern the absolute value of human life. For many years, suicide has been considered unethical by society, and the idea of ​​asking a doctor to help end a person's life sends a confusing message. Euthanasia can be classified into passive and active. Passive euthanasia occurs when the doctor stops doing something that will keep the patient alive. Active euthanasia is when the doctor does something that will cause the patient's death. There are two types of voluntary and involuntary euthanasia. Voluntary euthanasia is the patient's consent while involuntary euthanasia is the consent of another person because the patient is unable to do it himself. Voluntary and active euthanasia is a more controversial issue and creates legal and moral confusion. I believe that a terminally ill person should have the option of euthanasia because it will increase their happiness while decreasing their suffering. Euthanasia gives the patient the right to die with dignity because it allows him to choose to end his life peacefully and painlessly. It is inhumane to allow people near death to go, according to CNN, on four Medicare expenses to 5% of beneficiaries in the last year of life. A study from Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that people with a long-term illness pay up to 66,000 out of pocket (Wang). If a patient has insisted on dying, people wonder whether end-of-life care is worth it. Come to think of it, who will really benefit from this. Patients will become a financial burden to their loved ones. A survey conducted in Oregon, USA, states that in 66% of cases the reason for the request to die was because they did not want to be a burden. Another reason to consider assisted suicide can help with healthcare funding, bed shortages and nursing care
