Should a patient who has lost all powers of reasoning and who lives.
like a vegetable, totally hopeless and helpless, a terminal case who only.
wants to die, be forced to live? The number of people who are asking this.
question increases each day. Although the official position of the medical.
profession is to maintain life indefinitetely, regardless of the condition.
of the patient, but with certain cases, euthanasia should be administered.
.
We are living in an age of medical miracles. Medicine, has made so.
much dramatic progress, that lifesaving techniques were thought to be.
impossible, a generation age. Ill patients throughtout the world are kept.
alive by the use of defribbrilators, respirators, pacemakers and other.
similar equipment. A study was done by the American Encephalograhic Soceity.
has concluded that when an EEG reading is what is known as "flat line" the.
person, is officially dead. What this actually means is that although there.
may not be any brain activity, other vital organs can work by means of.
certain equipment. Now heart- lung machines can augment the duration of.
life.
.
Well some say that life is precious, HOW IS LIFE PRECIOUS, WHEN IT CAN.
NOT BE LIVED TO THE FULLEST.
.
I believe that Euthanasia should be legalized because of that option.
of dying. People say that their should be a option to live, but I think.
that there should also be a option to die. Many also think that they should.
stay alive because they don't want death for their own reason. Why not put.
them out of there misery, if the pain that one goes through is excruciating.
why not let them die.
.
Many states have laws that state, that explain the condition of when a.
person is deceased. States believe that they should authorize the death of.
a individual when it is not really there's to make. I believe that there.
should be a choice of death or life. I am not saying who should make the.
decision, but all I am saying is that Euthanasia should be legalized.
