Euthanasia Reviews

Euthanasia is a topic that all people seem to take seriously. Many are passionately against it. Other people are completely in favour of the humans right to choose how and when they will die, feeling strongly that it is simply up to them. My grandmother is terminally ill and nowadays there is no available therapy to treat ...  Read the complete review

Euthanasia is such a hard subject to make a decision on if it is right or wrong simply because there is so much other things to take into consideration about Euthanasia. For example if it was made completely legal in the UK like it is some places in the world, you could just have clinically depressed people wanting to take their lives when they ...  Read the complete review

Not really sure where I stand on this one. Its such a serious topic to make a decision on and unless you have been in a situation where this might have been an option to someone close, then I don't see how you claim to be qualified enough. My own feeling would be that should something happen to me that was beyond my control, or that my ...  Read the complete review

In October 2007 my dad was diagnosed with Mesothelioma cancer - or in layman's terms, asbestos cancer. By the time it had been detected it had spread from his lungs to his brain, kidneys and adrenal glands - and we were told it was terminal. For 7 weeks we had to watch the fit, witty, strong 55yr old who was so important to all of us, ...  Read the complete review

This is a really interesting topic and there are no right or wrong answers about it. I have had this discussion with my family on several occassions especially when there are cases that crop up in the news. Am I for or against it? Well, lets look at both sides; Well, my mum's best friend was diagnosed last June with a brain tumour ...  Read the complete review

I was quite annoyed as I missed watching a recent television programme starring Julie Walters that focused on Euthanasia and all of the complications that surround it. I am definitely not a highly opinionated person, in any way shape or form. After watching the news headlines I listened intently to a relatively young woman who was ...  Read the complete review

When a dog or a cat is sick, it is 'OK' for a Vet or the owner to put the pet down, it is fine for them to 'play god'. But when a human reaches a point where the pain is unbearable and life is not worth living, apparently it is not ok to 'play god'. It is important to consider the quality of life of the person. The amount of pain and ...  Read the complete review

Right or wrong? Its not really my right to agree or disagree with euthanasia, but its an issue that has particularly caught my attention in the last couple of weeks. This has led me to think deeply about the subject. Euthanasia is something that has always caught public attention In ancient greek it means good death. It is a ...  Read the complete review

Is anybody out there getting a little bit concerned by this constant flow of terminal ill or disabled people who feel the need to use the full glare of the media to change the law for assisted suicide, imploring for the legal right to die with the help of someone else, and so not see their nearest and dearest charged. Make no mistake, if they ...  Read the complete review

Euthanasia "To cure sometimes, to help often and to comfort always" was how a 16th century physician described his role in medicine and today nothing has really changed. I want to give you an insight into my thoughts on Euthanasia from my perspective as a nurse when for some years I was involved with the care of dying, and also as a ...  Read the complete review

After watching Panorama last night, it got me thinking about whether we should have the right to die. In case you didn't see the programme, the show was presented by Margo MacDonald, a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP), who suffers from Parkinson's disease and is currently putting a bill through the Scottish Parliament to legalise assisted ...  Read the complete review

I have to declare right away that this is a reprint of an article I wrote for Dooyoo some years ago. Due to a phase of seriously poor health my membership lapsed, and I'm afraid I can't remember either the date of publication or the username I published under. But I retained the basic text, which I came across again just recently, and ...  Read the complete review

Whatever anyone will write about this subject it is sure to bring up such a wide range of emotions, should we be able to 'play god' and choose to go when we feel that we have no quality of life or should we leave it to fate to decide. We have heard manier times that animals have more rights than what we do when it comes to suffering, and it's a ...  Read the complete review

This is a review of which I do believe people will always differ with their opinions. This is what I think and I apologise in advance to anyone who disagrees, but we are all entitled to our opinions. I feel that as people have the right to live as they please then they should also have the right to decide when they die, wihtin reason. ...  Read the complete review

Euthanasia has long been a great debate i remember writing my English paper about this topic in my belief it should world wide be legal of course with limitations. depending on circumstances. if a person has a terminal illness and is of fair state of mind why cant they have the choice to end there own life why should they have to suffer when they ...  Read the complete review

I highly believe that Euthansia should be accepted and legalised to assist people with 'no quality of life' die in a relatively painless manner. Some forms of euthanasia are legal in Belgium, Luxemburg, The Netherlands, Switzerland, the U.S. state of Oregon, the Autonomous Community of Andalusia (Spain) and ...  Read the complete review

I have a very strong belief that euthanasia should definitely be legalised. There are thousands of people out there forced to suffer long, slow deaths...and why? Because humans dont have the same rights as animals, apparently. Why exactly is it okay to put a dying dog out of its misery, yet we arent allowed to put a desperate suffering human out ...  Read the complete review

My gut reaction to this topic has always been a resounding No due to my religious beliefs. I don't believe that we should take it into our own hands when we die (or anyone dies else for that matter) whatever the circumstances. I believe that God (Jehovah of the Christian Bible) made us and He alone decides when we should be born and ...  Read the complete review

In order to discuss this topic, it is important that we have some sort of understanding of what euthanasia is. The definition below was sourced from Answers.com; it states that euthanasia is "The act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection ...  Read the complete review

I myself am fully for euthanasia, of course in my few years of existence I have only recently discovered this issue and formed my opinion. What I have seen though in my years, is a general support for euthanasia, it would seem that most people want some control over there fate, and most people would rather die than live a life of ...  Read the complete review
