Arguments against Euthanasia
In your idea does life worth to be alive but tolerate its painful events? Let's see! Euthanasia the act of intentional killing or mercy killing for the benefit of patients is done in many countries legally or not and every one has their own result. But I am against this act and I think it isn't a mercy action in any way. Here I have some reasons for my opinion.
First of all, our technology is progressing every day in different aspects. So every illness which cannot be cured today, maybe it can be cured later and many people can be saved from the unavoidable death. Since every moments of life are important and valuable, maybe medicines will be found that at least postpone the certain death of many patients.
Second, many people and doctors offers euthanasia to whom are old and useless and think that in this way they can save time, money and hospital's equipments for other patients. But they don't consider this point that the value of humanity doesn't depend on the ages. There isn't any difference between a child, a young or an old person; there are all human beings and every moments of their life can be a wonderful one. In other hands, many important actions, wars, revolution and civilization were happened by an old leader!
Third, "euthanasia can be considered as a rejection of the importance and value of human life. People who support euthanasia often say that it is already considered permissible to take human life under some circumstances such as self-defense, but they miss the point that they lose the value and importance of life, either their own or some one else's. With euthanasia no one's life is being saved, life is only taken."
Forth, "since we didn't create ourselves, we don't own our bodies. We are entrusted with them for care and safe keeping. God is the owner and his rights in giving and in taking are not to be violated." As God create us, for every illness and problems he has made a cure too and we shouldn't meddle in God's faith.
Another point is that, euthanasia can be divided in different types such as voluntary and involuntary. In voluntary euthanasia, the ill person request to be killed when there is no hope and in involuntary euthanasia, according to doctor's orders, the patients will be killed by not providing necessary and ordinary cares or doing some actins such as giving a lethal injection. Some people say that voluntary euthanasia will not lead to involuntary euthanasia, but here I have an example that "an old person, who can barely understand a breakfast menu, is asked to sign a form consenting to be killed. Is this voluntary or involuntary? Once one signature can sign away a person's life, nothing can protect a person's life!"
Also, "history has taught us the dangers of euthanasia and that is why there are only two countries in the world today where it is legal. That is why almost all societies, even non-religious ones, for thousands of years have made euthanasia a crime."
There were my reasons for objecting euthanasia and I believe that our attitudes about life, can change every thing and if our looking change about living, every moments of life can be enjoyable and in this way no one is ready to do euthanasia even for himself or others.
