Euthanasia Short Essay

Euthanasia should remain illegal in order to broaden our perspective on this and other issues because of the obligation to elderly patients.

Involuntary, non-voluntary, and voluntary euthanasia are the three types of euthanasia. Active and passive methods are used to kill the patient.

During an involuntary euthanasia, the patient refuses the procedure, while a voluntary euthanasia is not known to the patient, while a nonvoluntary euthanasia is unknown to the patient. A patient is killed by active euthanasia by administering a substance, whereas a patient is killed by passive euthanasia by stopping treatment.

The passive method is generally slower and more uncomfortable than the active method. Assisting suicide and euthanasia differ slightly as well. As part of euthanasia, the caregiver administers the substance, but in assisted suicide, the caregiver only provides the substance and allows the patient to administer it themselves. Due to its connection to life-and-death morality, assisted suicide can also have a complex moral value system that requires careful thought.

The legalization of euthanasia can have a severe impact on families and society. For example, the family or close friends of the euthanized individual may face backlash or conflict. Many people regret supporting euthanasia and find it difficult to deal with it. Relationships could be disrupted.

Rebecca Badger was euthanized after her daughter discovered that her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis had been incorrect. According to the autopsy report, Christy’s mother would still be alive today if she hadn’t been diagnosed with MS.

The issue of personal autonomy is not the only one. The individual should also be able to make decisions or pursue actions without regard to particular moral values. There is no such thing as an island. No one makes the decision to end his or her life by themselves. Families and friends left behind are affected, as are healthcare workers involved in the decision-making process. Patients themselves are affected by euthanasia, not just society.

It may become a duty to die for elderly patients. While they may not be ready to die, they may feel it is the right thing to do. Caregivers may exert pressure that will push patients to end their lives.

As discrimination against people with disabilities grows, which increases feelings of obligation and depression, people with disabilities may choose to die despite their desire to live.
