Essay / Euthanasia - Physician Assisted Suicide - 955
Let's say a close relative of yours has been lying in their hospital bed without any tubes attached to their body and with a dying heart for a few months. Today seems to be their last day, the doctors tell you, and all you can do is watch their lives slowly dwindle. Isn't there something you would like to do to alleviate their suffering and something you would like to put an end to? Well, killing is not one of them, but hospitals even allow such an act to happen to a patient. Who in their right mind would even think of killing someone vulnerable? Only a person with a rational mind would try to ban such an action, especially in our country. The act that has been termed "mercy killing" called euthanasia should not be practiced (or worse yet, legalized) in our country because it is a form of taboo against our Christian morals and practices, disobeying our connection with God as we promise. make our lives fulfilling, promotes the contagious idea of suicide among many fearful dying patients, and worst of all, gives doctors, normal human beings, the right to kill another human being. Firstly, as a Christian community, the practice of euthanasia in hospitals is an act contrary to our morals and values, because the process of a person's death is very important in spiritual matters and should be optimal. it is not disturbed by human activity. As humans, we should all know that a person's life and existence on this planet is one of the most precious gifts, because we all possess and bear the image of God and His distinct values. Looking closer, humans possess an ability that no other living being can, that of making them see things from a different perspective, using the complexity of their minds to develop abilities. So, a patient's life cannot end simply in the middle of a paper...by the freedom to discuss such matters between doctor and patient. Together, we can help each other turn away from what is morally wrong and open ourselves to better ways of handling the final minutes of a dying loved one by accepting their condition with an open mind, despite a turbulent situation.II .
