Euthanasia – Should it be legalized???

yes. deffinetly

yes? meaning it should be legalized? please write ur views if yes or even know...

Yes, because a lots of peopel suffer from a certain disease and ewerybody knows, that there are situationes in what the respectiv persones situatio kan not be changed.For ex the person is paralized, can stay only under the infuzion and can breave only with the help of some masines and can be feeded aswell with the spetially constructed mashines for this..
And its obvious that there is no hope anymore and to keep alive somebody I meen to keep the breath in somebody whos condition willl newer change only will be worser there is no use to make possibil the invalid person...
Health meenes life without pain, suffering and in the mouth of the deth beeing...

We are humanes after all

Its their life and and they should be able to do what they want with it.

this is not the actual defination!

Euthanasia - painless death exccepted by a person who is suffering hopelessly in a non-curable disease.

it should be legalized!

Come on dude! lmao.
You are not only denying my definition but actually that was the definition given by Random House Webester's Unabridged Dictionary, one of the most professionally used dictionary in medical field. So think twice before you move into conclusion and never ever wrong anyone in ur life!!!

here is sth more appropriate from Steadman's if u r aware what Steadman represents that is.

euthanasia

1. A quiet, painless death.
2. The intentional putting to death of a person with an incurable or painful disease intended as an act of mercy.
[eu- + G. thanatos, death]

Origin
[eu- + G. thanatos, death]

so u need not give the definition of it, coz i got even more references dude. n the one i put here is the most appropriate one!

lol

arent there anyone giving there thoughts?

It should only be legal if the people doing it have the go ahead by the sufferer him/herself, or their family.

sorry for the late reply.
well i think it is practiced after the consent of the parent or the guardian. but yet, do u personally think it is right thing to do? to legalize it?

I think it should be legalised. If a loved one of mine was in extreme pain everyday, without the possibility of getting better, and wanted to die, I wouldn't hesitate to put them to rest.

but it is a murder in the other hand, dont u think so? do u think anyone should get the legal consent to kill someone even if sufferer is in pain? it is murder in a way.

nope, I think Murder is a different kettle of fish to euthanasia. Murder is the act of intenionally killing someone with malice aforethought, which basically means killing with a guilty mind. It's basically what separates manslaughter from murder, or there abouts.. hard to put it into words.

i agree with the definition of the murder that u gave to me. but what if someone influences the doc who is acting that Euthanasia Act and they abuse that act n they try to murder someone. it is possible. dont u think so? money talks in this world.

well what about the people killed in death row .Its not murder then??

euthanasia will never be legalized.... and it will always be one of the most controversial issues in the world
in one aspect.. people are suffereing.. and it only seems moral to end their suffering.. its hard to see aperson in pain all the time and there's nothing u can do about it
but on the other hand euthanasia is murder.. we don't like to hear about murders on the television..
in my opinion.. euthansia should be legal.. if it is the guardian or parent who is enforcing it

Fucking-A skippy it should. People should always be in control of their own life (or death), not the government. To quote Thomas Jefferson "the government that governs least governs best". To me it is ridiculous to even question whether it should be or not. It is just the hypocritical religious right that fights it, anyone with any semblence of intellect knows it is a person's own choice. But the religious zealots often fuck up all kinds of logic with their psychobabble.

i think i should disagree dude... i mean what if the person who is willing to kill himself is a psycho n has a mental disorder n has suicidal ideations or delusions n then he make ups a plan n tries for that Euthansia act?

Doesn't matter. We have the right to check on our own terms and go with dignity. Someone that wishes to commit suicide well that is their choice. Their life and ultimately their death. Nobody else has the right to dictate to someone what to do with their life (or death).

No offense, but man! u got one hell of a kid's brain for a 44-yo. what if that suicidal person is ur own relative. What if that was ur own son???

Of course I am not advocating it, but people should be free to make their own decisions about their life and death, even my relatives or my son. And sorry but there is nothing juvenile about my brain. Maybe you should analyze your own controlling, my-morality-should-be-everyone's outlook. Seems you are the one unable to handle thinking in different ways. That is indeed your loss, not mine. I don't tell people to commit suicide but I am certainly not here to judge them either should they choose that escape. It is not for me to judge....nor you.

Hmm... now u r talking morally. U said u dont tell ppl to commit suicide but i think by telling it is right to make n take ur life by ur own willingness, wont u support those n emphasize them to do so? Your one thought n one word can inspire millions to their destruction. So, u should always think twice before u speak. That was what i wanted to imply earlier. Apologies to my rude remarks! But ur commments below made me think twice that u were here without any moral views.

morally period. There is no difference.

rite on dood

Euthanasia is wrong !!!!!

n would u please tell us why?

no dude just YOU are wrong!

To be honest, I don't care if it is legalized or not, there's nothing I can do about it.

lol! dont be frustrated Ms. Tobes... i just wanted to know what u really think. persoan views with brief description why.

I'm not frustrated, I honestly don't care :P

frus·trat·ed (frusÆtr! tid), adj.
1. disappointed; thwarted: an announcer who was a frustrated actor.
2. having a feeling of or filled with frustration; dissatisfied

wat if u were in that positoin where u wanted to get that act ??

I'd do a little dance with my pet donkey.

it's already legal in some countries like Holland! , I think it should be! but there should be some kinda of control over it, and in only certin diseases where cure is imposssible!!

ya man. u do know it. it has been legalized in holland n i heard in some countries too. but still lots of ppl in holland still think it is wrong. thats why i m asking for the personal views...

no i don't think so. ppl r in control of their lives as long as they r actively living it but when it comes to such situations i don't think euthanasia should be applied. for incurable diseases, wat if, for instance, a new drug is discovered? this is my personal opinion. ah by the way, happy new year:D!

Thanks for the wishes... n Happy New Year to u as well.
Still lots of discussions arises. We should think both positively n negatively as well. I yet havent reached to the end of this discussion whether if it is right or wrong.. it is quite a tough debate as of yet. but keep on posting ur point of views.

i can c ur point of confusion as well. i shared it with u some time ago till i arrived to final conclusion for myself. this is a very dangerous desicion to be made. it is a desicion of killing and murder after all. i'm in a few years going to graduate hopefully to be a doctor, and i wouldn't ever want to have such a power to issue someone's death. i personally vier this as a supreme power of God. it shall be a burden on me rather than a mercy to the patient. besides, if this is legalized, then we shouldn't have more faith in medicine after all! what would i do then! get another job? lol!

Euthanasia should be legalized only if the person who is suffering puts it in his or her will and if there is no will then it should the individual's right as to what his or her fate should be if that person is diagnosed with a deadly disease such as cancer or AIDS or if this person is in a persistant vegitative state and requests euthanasia as an option for treatment if that person is in a life threatening position. there is no way Euthanasia would be legalised without the individual's right to choose, otherwise it is murder and Im not about to argue as to whether or not that should be legalized. Michael Shavo for an example is and always will be a murderer because his wife did not wish to be euthanized yet he still persisted in killing her.

hmm... my friend. my point is how can u say if that person who is the sufferer is in his own state wishing to be dead? i mean if u r a victim of any disease n if u r in pain, certainly, u'd be given pain killers which if overdosed leads to hallucinations, delusions, n sometimes with suidical ideation, in that case how can u be sure if he is in his full state of mind n he is confiding us to take his life? shouldn't we think twice even if that person demands death?

Well obviously its physically and psychologically impossable for any human being reguardless of health to "control" another as though its a computer or a camera, however I do agree that if there is any suspicion from either a friend or a family member that this particular individual should or should not die, we should think twice about other alternatives such as your pain killers but if this person has suicidal thoughts due to these drugs and is not in a consious state of mind, then no one should even think of death as an alternative unless there is a legal statement from the individual either in a will or testament stating that if anything happens to his or her mortality that proper actions should be taken including euthanasia if nessesary. if it is found that this individual has suicidal thoughts then it is up to that person and next of kin to discuss with the doctor or an advisor about the alternatives including euthanasia if this person has a life threatening situation.

every human been has the rigth to live but also has the rigth to quit this rigth so euthanasia its legal for nature as suicide is...

So u think there is any Act as Suicidal act? in which ppl can take their own life if they dont wish to live? Dont u know that is something called psychiatric disease? somethign related to psychology? lol.

i think if that hes problem dude nothing further i dont mess with anyones life if he has got a phsiquiatric problem that is not mi issue if he wants to suicide
