So in Yr 11 we're looking at Euthanasia ... when someone who is terminally ill wants to put an end to their suffering and asks someone to help them die. Why is this such a controversial issue? Why is it illegal in this country? What do you think? It's legal to put animals to sleep to end their suffering but in the UK Euthanasia remains illegal. Why do people have to go to the Netherlands to get help with dying? What are you views?

ReplyDeletewe think that helping someone to die is just horrible because basically it's like your killing them yourself and maybe that person who wants to die wants to spend their last moment with their family
ReplyDeleteI think that it is ok to help someone die if they their quality of life is very degrading (like a terminal illness) as you are helping them to stop suffering. But for people who are not suffering and just want to end their life for causes such as depression or upset (things that do not last) then you should not help them as there is no real need and their quality of life can improve
ReplyDeletehmm....Choosing to die with dignity...with what dignity are you depending to die for?
ReplyDeleteThese days alot of people have more pride than dignity, and often mistake the two for each other.
It also depends on what your dying for and why you are able to do so with dignity.
