Many people(pro-life) are against any type of euthanasia and that "nature should take its course" rather than helping someone pass that is terminally ill or a horrible accident that has left the patient in a coma. On the other hand many people are strongly for euthanasia and would rather put people out of their misery rather than having then live longer and just suffer. Euthanasia is a serious topic in the medical field and at any given time you yourself could potentially be in a situation that euthanasia (assisted suicide) is an option. Some questions to think about-
- If you were unaware and couldn't make the decision for yourself do you think you would want to just die or be a "bed vegetable" wasting medicine that could potentially save someone else life?
- Some people view any type of euthanasia as murder, but put yourself in a situation for example a terminal illness that is only painful to you and only have so long to live. Why waste medicine that doesn't help you when you can be asked to be put out of your misery. If you could, would you?

This is a very interesting topic. It is difficult to talk about any time, but certainly when we are faced with it in an urgent way. To me it is the struggle between hope and reality. Both are so difficult to measure. This is especially true with medical advancements. It requires a lot of trust in our health care professionals. Great questions.
I believe this is very wrong especially when it involves the client being unaware of it happening.
In a way I agree with this practice, this is because if i was in a "vegetable" like state i would rather go through this process than live a life of suffering. I'm also against this because I think it should be something that is wanted to be done by the individual and it shouldn't be just up to one person.
I think that this was a really interesting topic and is very controversial. I am unsure how I feel about it but the blog gave a lot of very helpful and interesting information.
