TITLE : Good Death
Euthanasia
that is calleds
good death in Greek means making a painless act of death of to someone who has incurable illness or insignificant
life-sustaining. It is informed death with dignity. Euthanasia is
categorized in 2 types which are methods and voluntary yes or no; it includes active,
passive,
voluntary and non-voluntary euthanasia.
Therefore,
active euthanasia entails lethal
substances or forces, and passive euthanasia entails withholding of common treatments. Voluntary euthanasia indicates free consent which is allowed by a patient.
For instance, before a patient falls into a comatose state, the patient tells
his or her family to remove treatment life
support equipment; that is a kind of voluntary euthanasia. Non-voluntary
euthanasia indicates a case that a patient can’t choose living life or death. For example, one of the many non-voluntary cases is a patient who falls
into a comatose state, but the patient doesn’t tell anything before he falls into a comatose state.
Currently, most
countries don’t allow euthanasia. Otherwise, the
Netherlands allows euthanasia as by the law
aggressively. For example, Korea doesn’t have the law about euthanasia. Australia was the first country in the world that had enacted the law about euthanasia in 1996 in the first place.
But the law was abrogated within 6 months. Although Japan allows passive
euthanasia in Asia uniquely, they don’t have the law about euthanasia. Germany
has the law about euthanasia.
These days, graying
(aging) increases rapidly. Thus, a necessity of
euthanasia is discusseds
actively. In the affirmative side, the more as time goes by, the more a
family of the patient can be a burden to his family.
Moreover people have an obligation of death. And the euthanasia is
different to homicide.
In the negative
side, if euthanasia is alloweds, it will happen cause a lot of crimes and abuses. And people will
despise about life and death easily.
For me, I
agree about with euthanasia. Because when
I imagine, if I geot a terminal case or faell into a comatose state, I will would choose euthanasia. In that case, I think I would
had better give up my life than keep my life.
Before writing
this diary, I read the news which includes euthanasia. The content was “80’s
couple who are is French did a joint
suicide while they criticize for a the prohibition
law of euthanasia.” They said, “The law doesn’t protect our obligation of the
way which people are able to take medicine for death calmly.” In addition, 56~92%
of the French supports euthanasia of a terminal case in a recent survey of
public opinion. So do I.
