Topic > Utilitarian theory: the end of life - 813

With its statement we can conclude that the decision to suffer or die intentionally is left to the person who is experiencing physical suffering. Objection The thought of ending one's life or having someone else do it for them is a difficult topic to think about. These would be the people who are totally against the forced end of life. These would be the people who believe that the natural expiration of death is the absolutely right thing to do. Most people who hold this belief have a religious conscience and remain faithful to its doctrine that suicide or assisted suicide is wrong and sinful. Another reason for this objection, according to PeterSinger, is that the main reason why most people are against voluntary euthanasia is because it is a rule that it is always wrong to kill an innocent human being (Singer, 2003). This view is based on general morals and religious beliefs. To think that someone was ended on purpose literally doesn't sound politically correct and when you think of a forced death, murder is the first and only word that comes to mind..
