Understanding Death With Dignity Pros And Cons

By Ruthie Calderon


One has to know certain things about such practice. Perhaps it has its positive and negative sides. People will consider dying mainly as a result of their own problems which for this case can be due to a terminal illness. Several countries around the world object the idea. Nonetheless, there are those who have allowed its practice. Outlined below are some things to know pertaining to death with dignity pros and cons.

In support of the ideology it is important to recognize the fact that there are a lot of people who are going through unendurable illness. It is at important to give them a chance to decide whether they can be helped terminate their lives. This is in a bid to eliminate the troubles they are going through as a result of the sickness which cannot be cured.

On the other hand, the legal systems have casted off the idea terming it unethical. The thing is that nobody has the right to die. This will mean that nobody has the authority to administer the lethal injection either voluntary or involuntary. This in most cases will be considered as a criminal act if the legal system has put forward their stand.

In favor of this, incurably ill people should be allowed to die. Even if it is not their right to die, it is more of subjecting them to continuous stressful situations if they continue suffering. Giving the doctors a go ahead to terminate their lives will mean a relief to the patients. This is because of desperation and the fact that they might never be fit again.

The biggest concern about this here from those who are in agony is the authorities. Their laws which for this matter have been enacted to counter the practice does not favor at all. It starves them of the autonomy meaning that they are not permitted to carry it out. That is why it has caused uproar among the activists who are seeking the regulations to be erased.

Assisting to die in one way or another does not disqualify the palliative care as a way to prolong life. Allowing doctors to assist is rather according empathetic care and respect to the patient by allowing them to take that as an option. This has been pain-staked to be an option rather than leaving a person to suffer for long and ultimately they will die.

If the practice is allowed to take charge the medics most probably will never take into account the significance of sedative care. It will become more rampant and these medics will opt to practicing the form of suicide more than giving a chance that will lengthen extend the time for dying. This is to say that the act should never be given a place in the society due the ethical issues surrounding it.

Discussed above are the advantages and disadvantages of physician assisted suicide. Considering the cat requires a person to think critically about it. It can at times be so helpful if the negative side of it is not seen. Before implementing, think about each of these.
