A major possible counterargument would be that euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide violate the Hippocratic Oath, the first set of written medical ethical ideas. The oath states that as a doctor, one should do things that benefit the patient and should not try to harm their patients. The patient has the right to refuse treatment and has the right to dignity. The doctor must tell the truth and be honest, while being fair in his treatment of the patient. As such, euthanasia violates the oath because it would mean that doctors are not doing what is best for their patient and are trying to harm them. This counterargument does not pose a threat to my position, because one of the most common arguments is that patients have the right to dignity and that the doctor responds to the needs and care of his patient at all times. his life. disease. Another point against their argument is that the doctor did everything he could to help prolong his patient's life, and so in some way the doctor fulfilled his duty to help the patient as much as possible. he could.
