Euthanasia, good or bad? In this next article I will explore euthanasia in more detail, the different Christian views, the strengths and weaknesses of the euthanasia argument and finally my views on euthanasia and why I believe it . First of all, what is euthanasia? It's something that few people think about until they, or a friend or family member, are put in a position where they might actually have to consider it. Euthanasia, in the dictionary, is simply: the action of ending a person's life in a painless manner. It seems simple enough, but in reality it is much more complicated, not only for the people affected but also for society in general. There are generally four different types of euthanasia. There is passive euthanasia, where the dying person is given strong painkillers but receives no medical attention and is therefore left to die, hopefully painlessly. Then there is compulsory euthanasia, and although it is rarely practiced today, this is where a person with a certain illness, such as the plague, is killed to relieve them of their pain and also to prevent the disease from spreading further. Next comes involuntary euthanasia where, for example, a person in a coma or a brain dead person is euthanized because they have no quality of life or their life has no value. We speak of involuntary euthanasia, because a family member can request that euthanasia be carried out when the sick person cannot. The last type of euthanasia, and the most difficult to understand and regulate, is voluntary euthanasia: a person, for example suffering from a terminal illness or very elderly, requests that euthanasia be carried out to end to his days earlier so that I will not suffer so much.Because had...... middle of paper ......e so it should not be ended in a hurry.However, even if I am against euthanasia in most cases, I do not believe that it should not be completely banned and that certain forms should still exist. For example, although it seems like the harshest and easiest form of euthanasia to exploit, I believe that involuntary euthanasia is suitable for some extreme cases. I believe this because for some families, perhaps with someone in a coma - who will likely never wake up, their only chance to live a normal, happy life is to end the life of the person in the coma . Although there is a small chance that the person will wake up - and many people think this is one reason why involuntary euthanasia is wrong - there is a greater chance that they will never wake up. and if she doesn't, one could argue that many lives are wasted because the family still lives in limbo.
