Have you ever thought about what you would do once you were no longer able to take care of yourself? The pain and suffering you may go through and without your consent a doctor decides to pull the plug on you. While this may be what you want, it would be known as humane euthanasia. Why would anyone want to legalize something like this? Don't you value your life enough to hope to stay alive? If euthanasia were legal, what would people think of doctors who practiced this form of murder? Doctors should be our healers and protectors of the sick and disabled. We as patients hope to find relief and comfort from our healthcare providers, not quick judgment about who has the right to live based on their condition. Another thing to look into is the cost of this. Allowing a doctor to help a patient die is 100 times cheaper than trying to keep them alive. This would allow most health maintenance organizations to make a profit, rather than lose money. If humane euthanasia offers a choice to those who feel it is best for them, why shouldn't it also offer a choice to those who do not want to participate in this practice. So this bill is not about promoting choice but about promoting death. You say that the only people who have these rights are the "terminally ill". But what exactly is a terminally ill patient? Many believe that any illness that can shorten life for even a day is considered a terminal illness. If this is the case, pneumonia patients or anyone with a severe case of chickenpox could be used in the practice of euthanasia. While this might lead to a religious debate, don't you think a doctor who aids in dying is playing a game? with God? Perhaps it is God's will for them to die alone in the middle of paper, just when someone wants their life taken away due to the stress and pain in their life. In euthanasia, stress and pain are caused in someone's life, but it's not them who takes their own life, it's the doctor who does it. When many think from this perspective they begin to think about how medically assisted death is more of a homicide than a healthcare practice. In the next paragraph I fight the term that the writer of the editorial uses for terminally ill patients. I find that any person suffering from an illness that prolongs their health may be considered terminally ill and may be liable to euthanasia. Finally, I use the United States Constitution as a means to defend the rights of its citizens. And discover that not being seen anywhere is the right to die. This means that no one should be denied the right to life, no matter how harsh the situation.
