Euthanasia: A doctor is allowed by law to end a person's life by a painless means, as long as

the patient and their family agree.

Voluntary and involuntary euthanasia

Euthanasia can also be classed as voluntary or involuntary.

Voluntary: When euthanasia is conducted with consent. Voluntary euthanasia is currently


legal in Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and the states of Oregon and
Washington in the U.S.

Non-voluntary: When euthanasia is conducted on a person who is unable to consent due to


their current health condition. In this scenario the decision is made by another appropriate
person, on behalf of the patient, based on their quality of life and suffering.

Involuntary: When euthanasia is performed on a person who would be able to provide


informed consent, but does not, either because they do not want to die, or because they were
not asked. This is called murder, as it's often against the patients will. Euthanasia is only
voluntary if the patient is mentally competent.

Brain dead is not a coma or persistent vegetative state, it means that the brain is no longer
working in any capacity and never will again, at the time a physician declares brain death, the
patient is dead. A patient who is in a coma or persistent vegetative state typically has some
brain stem function (which controls breathing) and possibly other brain function. When a
person is brain dead, no part of the brain is functioning any longer.

AGAINST

We have one fact and it is the right of live. Everyone have this right. And we should not killed
another human being, beacuse we consider the concept of life the most value thing that we
own. he so-called "right to die " (for the patient) implies the duty to kill (for someone else, in
this case the doctor).

Euthanasia devalues the concept of life

Legalizing euthanasia would send a clear message: it is better to be dead than sick or disabled.
For a healthy person, it is too easy to perceive life with a disability or an illness as a disaster,
full of suffering and frustration. Accepting euthanasia means accepting that some lives (such as
elderly or people with disabilities) are worth less than others

Argument against “PAIN”

The argument of “ease the pain” to the person is invalid for two reasons

First, People who are in a deep depression they are suffering and also they feel pain . And we
don’t give them a pill to end their life and relieve their pain.

And second, If we must relieve the pain there is something called Palliative treatment. Good
palliative care is able to control physical, psychological , social, spiritual and existential
suffering.
Argument against “MONEY”

The money is something that we called extrinsic good we can’t put this good above to goods
like life and health. I mean we shouldn’t take ethics decisions think in extrinsic goods.

For

Capability

According to a peer-reviewed paper published last year in the respected journal JAMA:

Pain is not the main motivation for PAS (physician-assisted suicide)… The dominant motives
are loss of autonomy and dignity and being less able to enjoy life’s activities. The authors said
that in officially reported Belgian cases, pain was the reason for euthanasia in about half of
cases. Loss of dignity is mentioned as a reason for 61% of cases in the Netherlands and 52% in
Belgium.

Fact: Around 3.7% of deaths in the Netherlands in 2015 were due to euthanasia. The
Netherlands’ regional euthanasia review committees reported that there were 5,516 deaths
due to euthanasia in 2015. That is out of a total of around 147,000 - 148,000 deaths in the
Netherlands that year.

A study conducted in 2012 shows that 32% of the assisted deaths in Belgium are carried out
without request and 47% of assisted deaths go unreported in the Flanders region of Belgium.
Another recent study found that nurses are regularly euthanasing their patients in Belgium
even though the laws prohibits it. Since euthanasia was legalised in 2002 there has not been
one attempt to prosecute for abuses of the euthanasia law. In addition to this the study shows
there was a 25% increase in the number of assisted deaths in Belgium in 2012.

Freedom of choice: Advocates argue that the patient should be able to make their own choice

The pro-euthanasia and assisted suicide lobby emphasise the importance of personal choice
and autonomy. Shouldn’t patients have the right to end their lives? Dignity in Dying patron, Sir
Patrick Stewart has argued “We have no control over how we arrive in the world but at the
end of life we should have control over how we leave it.
