What is Euthanasia?

euthanasia is one of the most highly discussed stem in society today. It is non morally correct it has to do with tearing someone and ruins the intrinsic value of a human being. That is my argument towards euthanasia. Euthanasia goes against nature. Those that oppose say that it is mercy killing, but it is still killing. I am with the majority who are against this so-called mercy killing.Before presenting my arguments, it would be opera hat to define the precondition euthanasia. Euthanasia can be outlined in legion(predicate) ways. Here are categories that fall in with the term euthanasia. The term involuntary euthanasia is where the decision is not made by the someone who is to die the patients life is ended without the knowledge and consent. It is basically a form of murder.Passive euthanasia is to speed up the process of closing to a person and filet some type of support to allow that take its course. (academic, coup) Like stopping a form of medical procedure, stopping nutrients of food and water and allowing the person to dehydrate or starve to death, with that not delivering CPR.The term active euthanasia involves causing the death of a person through a direct action, in response from that person. (ACADEMIC.COUP) A well-kn accept(a) example of that is the content of Dr. Kevorkian. He gave a lethal dose of care for to kill a terminally ill patient. Dr. manual laborer Kevorkian was a retired diagnostician who assisted in the deaths of over 130 people. The famous court case of Dr. Jack Kevorkian brought awareness to the controversial issue of euthanasia to the public.In Michigan, Dr. Jack Kevorkian was convicted of the second-degree murder because he administered a controlled substance to end the life of doubting Thomas Youk and had prepared a flick showing his action and let the video be broadcast on national television (NY Times). A distinct yet similar situation and legal case would come intimately Saskatchewan, Canada when a wheat farme r named Robert Latimer would take the question of euthanasia into his own detainment.Robert Latimer murdered his young daughter, Tracy, on October 24th, 2008. Behind the reasoning of Latimers act which was vicious is that he couldnt help to see his daughter suffering from a heavy form of cerebral palsy and her disability. He killed her by placing Tracy in the pole of his car and ran a hose from the exhaust to the cab, while he watched her die. Latimer was therefore convicted on November 4,1993 of first-degree murder. The year after he was convicted of second-degree murder. (Inclusion Daily).So the question is whats the residuum between his actions of killing his Tracy who suffers from serious pain, and a doctor who received disposed permission to kill an individual who is also suffering from pain? in the end Dr. Jack Kevorkian, and Robert Latimer, were both charged with murder because they chose to practice euthanasia.If murder is proscribe by law because people take murder into their own hands to kill others, then why shouldnt euthanasia be too since doctors kill their patients even if there is consent. A doctor must receive sanction to assist in the death of a patient who is overly sick. Because of this many have questioned why doesnt Robert Latimer have the right to take his own daughters life, since a doctor would have had to ask him anyways to have the right to kill Tracy? Latimer obviously saved his daughter from suffering, which is the same reason many people.
