Euthanasia is a theme that starts very much controversy, just as capital punishment does,
mainly because it is
irreversible. Most people would not even like to raise the question whether euthanasia is
right or wrong. However, recent
changes of the laws about euthanasia provoked the new debate. ...
I would like to oppose the views that state several reasons on which the people
holding the views conclude that
euthanasia is wrong. ... The writers against
euthanasia try to persuade their readers that it is wrong based on neglecting and little
understanding of principle of life and
medical professionals work.
For Clowes, one of the most active writers against euthanasia, to imply that a health
professionals primary concern is
the conservation of medical resources and cost containment, as opposed to the betterment
of human life, is a gross inaccuracy
and insulting to those dedicated to the ethos "the betterment of human life" upon which
health care was built. Euthanasia is
irreversible - the writer starts by clearly defining the differences between direct and passive
euthanasia and natural death,
terminology that is essential to understanding the issue at hand. ... He then continues his debate by clearly
establishing that euthanasia is
permanent and irreversible, a point that is difficult to dispute and does emphasize the
importance of the issue to the reader. ... (Johnstone, 1994:353)
Opponents of Euthanasia say that it sets a bad example. ... " (Bradley, Daniels &
Jones, 1969:194) The author considered here the comparison of suicide and euthanasia.
His point was such as if euthanasia
was a legal practice that would have negative repercussions on the rest of society.
