Euthanasia

Euthanasia Euthanasia I’m sure everyone here has heard of Dr. Kevorkian a.k.a. Dr,Death. He has helped 120 people die. Recently, in April of 1999, he was convicted of murder for helping a man with a terminal illness die. Should he have been convicted' In my opinion NO! Why' I firmly believe that in certain cases where suffering from a terminal illness, (alzheimer’s, Multiple sclerosis, car accident leaving the person like a vegetable, cancer) should be able to make the choice to die with dignity. I know I would not want to live a life of constant suffering in pain. Would you' I will explain what Euthanasia is. The word Euthanasia comes from the Greek language; eu means “good” and thantos means “death”. The meaning of the word evolved from “good death”, and it refers to the act of ending another person’s life, at their request, in order to minimize suffering. There are two forms, one is Passive Euthanasia and the other is Active Euthanasia. Passive Euthanasia is the quick death of a person by, removing life support equipment (respirator,etc.), or stopping medical procedures, medications, or stopping food and water and allowing the person to dehydrate or starve to death. These procedures are performed on terminally ill patients, or suffering people, should, euthanasia, person, life, die, medical, death, help, patient, own, make, ill, pain, able, treatment, suicide, right, patients, believe, about, terminal, suffering, living, family, dignity, decisions, word, unable, time, terminally, starve, say, opinion, made, illness, give, food, end, done, document, doctor, decision, convicted, best, being, been, agree, without, wishes
