What is Euthanasia? Well it is a way of ending the life of a person if they are suffering. Usually being a sick person that has no chance of recovering and will just be in pain for the rest of their life. Now Euthanasia comes from Greek words having eu meaning good and thanatos meaning death. So instead of living a terrible painful death they would have euthanasia to end it giving them a good ending of their life. In 1870, a person named Samuel Williams proposed using morphine and anesthetics to end a patient's life. Then 35 years go by having people debate about euthanasia being a ok thing to do to people. 1906 there was an Ohio bill to legalize euthanasia but it ended up getting defeated.
There are different types of euthanasia for how people can die. The first one is the active authanasia which is killing a patient by active means. For example, injecting someone with a lethal dose of a drug to kill them. Next one would be the passive euthanasia and that is by intentionally letting a patient die by withholding life support. Like not giving them a ventilator or feeding tubes or if they are on them removing them. Another one would be if the patient wants to die and could be giving the option known as voluntary euthanasia. There are a lot more types of euthanasia that are kind of like the same thing but having different ways and techniques on how they do it. But in the end they are killing the patient so they don't suffer the pain they would if they kept on living.
They're more people discussing on euthanasia arguing if killing the patients is an ok thing to do rather then them living their life until they die on their own causes. There are also claims about how people have the own rights to what they want to do when they want to die. Then people argue of mercy killing or people that are in no chance of recovery letting them take useless treatments that won't affect them. One big one is about killing vs letting them die and how it ends up being the same ending with the patient dead. Everyone's morality is about having a person die from natural causes is not as bad as compared to actually physically ending someones life especially an innocent person.

I do believe that it is beneficial to those people that have to watch their family members suffer in pain while they can do nothing about it but making it slower and less painful.
I agree with this because yes it could be beneficial to people who just don't want to suffer anymore and don't think they can make it. But there is some cons to it, like mabye they don't want to die yet and just euthanasing a person who still thinks they could make it. I do think that people feel very scared getting Euthanasi because just the feeling of not waking up is scary.
It can be good when used for the right purpose, being humane, and not using it for other purposes. I feel like it is ok if its used right and the patient is 100% on board with the plan and they get to decide. I don't know which one I would go for.
I do agree that if it is used in the right way it can be a good thing to those that don't wanna stand the pain anymore and have been doing it for months or years.
I believe that Euthanasi can be benifical and also nonbenificial. It is benificial when a person is suffering or sick for a long time and just don't want to go through it anymore. I think it is nonbenificial because the family might not agree with the situation or even the person. I think the family and the person should make the decision, not the doctor. I am not sure which Euthanasi I would go for.
I do see where you are coming from because it can be nonbenificial when it comes to some cases when a certain someone doesn't agree on it or see it as the right way to go.
What type of Euthanasia would you go for? In my opinion, If I had to choose, I would go for passive euthanasia because it gives the person a chance to pass peacefully without extra pain or procedures.
What do you think about Euthanasia? I think Euthanasia can go both ways. I do not believe that if someone does not want to die they should have the right to stay alive and not be put out of there misery unless they choose to.
Do you believe it is ok? I think it's okay to an extent.
What type of Euthanasia would you go for? I would go for the pill one.
What do you think about Euthanasia? I think it is a good thing to have. Do you believe it is ok? Yes, I think it Is okay because it stops people from suffering. It is painless and works immediately. If I was on my death bed and I had no chance to live and I was in pain I would use Euthanasia.
I agree that it is a good thing to have because nobdoy like to see people suffering if it is someone close it hurts you even more.
