As i am of cathelic beliefs anyone who understands my religion will think i am a complete hipocrit for my belief on euthanasia.
I have been taught all my life that god chooses when we die and it is a sin which will stop you going to heaven if you go against his choice.
Last year was a very trying year for me, most people with religious beliefs will turn to there faith in a time of need but last year was different for me, i am realy struggling to justify supporting everything i have been preached to over the years now and euthanasia is one of those.
If i had a sick animal who was sufering in pain i would not think twice about taking it to the vets to have it euthanased yet as human beings we are not allowed this right.
I say right as i believe it should be every living things right to die with dignity.
I have a very strong personal view on euthonasia concidering my age and background, i do not want to ever have to suffer to the bitter end in agonising pain from a terminal illness, i do not want to get old and loose the ability to care for myself.
Anyone who has had to care 24 hours a day for a elderly or terminaly ill relative will surely agree with me here that they are no longer living just merely existing.
If a person is no longer living but just existing is it right to make them carry on with this suffering? would allowing that person to end there own suffering be a more humane way of doing things than to insist they continue there life as we call it in pain.
Surely not having euthanasia llegalised results in a lot of failed suicide attempts by people who are terminally ill which just results in more suffering for them.
I would like to and am going to when my time comes make this decision to end my life myself before i become too ill to be able to do it myself but i would feel a lot better about this decision if they legalised euthanasia and gave me the option to choose this way.
If i had a massive accident tomorow and was left in a vegitative state they would still keep me alive, i would either be put into a care home or sent home for my family to have to cope even though i wouldnt have any quality of life, is this fair to ask this of a family.
Shouldnt i be able to out line somewhere on some piece of paper what i want to happen to me.
Euthanasia for me is a good thing it will give people the choice to end there suffering in a safe way.
Summary: i feel very strongly about this and i will make this choice when my time comes

chrisandmark - 13/02/08 I'm kinda on the fence with euthanasia. Sometimes I'll think it should be legalised, but then I think back to my dad. He had throat and lung cancer for 3 years before he died and was in huge amounts of pain, he'd had his voicebox removed and had a permanent traceotomy just to be able to breath. In his worst bouts of pain he'd talk about how he wished euthanasia was legal (he'd never, ever, ever have committed suicide however bad he was) but then, about six months before he died, the pain just went completely and it was only in his final hours that it came back.
Yes, he still had the horror of knowing he was going to die soon and yes he still couldn't talk and had his traceotomy. BUT if euthanasia was legal I think he'd have gone for it without ever knowing that eventually he would be pain free and could go on living his life as best he could with this horrible disease. |
