Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide are Murder :: Euthanasia Physician Assisted Suicide

Euthanasia is Murder         Euthanasia - is it killing or allow split? In the last thirty years, this has been a highly controversial topic, the lay morals versus the Christian. Although there are certain instances where it is justifiably figureed to be letting decompose, it is essentially murder.           Euthanasia comes from a Greek word, meaning easy death, and is straight off often associated with the infamous Dr. Kevorkian. There are three types of euthanasia - what doctors consider to be letting the patient die, for instance taking both certain and unconscious patients off of animateness support, not reviving the patient in case of a heart failure, et cetera. There is also assisted felo-de-se. Dr. Kevorkian and his suicide machine have made themselves known through this technique. The machine injects a lethal dosage into the patients blood stream, killing then painlessly deep down ten minutes.   &n bsp       The first type mentioned above is known as agile voluntary euthanasia. This is where a conscious, mentally competent person, usually with a horrific physical ailment, loses the will to live. Many have said that keeping them alert is just prolonging their death, a form of cruel and unusual punishment. They may ask that life support equipment be disconnected so that they can die quickly, painlessly, with dignity. Most doctors are trained to try their best to defeat death, or at least try to delay it as long as possible. But if the patient is hopelessly ill, and would prefer to die, the doctor may concern the hospital ethics committee, and take him or her off of life support. When interpreted to court in these issues, the doctors defend themselves in saying, I didnt kill him, I let him die. This is illegal throughout the United States and the rest of the world, but it ease is a common occurrence.           The second type, passive voluntary euthanasia, is done when a terminally ill patients or a patient in a persistent vegetative states (PVS) family chooses to take their loved one off of life support. A PVS patient has no self-awareness or any awareness of their surround because the cerebral cortex, the thinking part of the brain, id dead. The brain stem, the part of the brain that controls the major organs of the body, still works, though.
