Euthanasia

Euthanasia

Euthanasia
One of the greatest moral and legal controversies facing courts throughout the
century is whether euthanasia, assisted suicide, should be legalized. This
pressing global issue is a major concern in many cases involving terminal
illnesses. There is an ongoing debate of whether the state's interest in
protecting life should take precedence over an individuals right to a dignified
life. Euthanasia is assumed by some to be a merciful escape for those suffering
from a terminal illness. From this perspective, a life should not be continued
unless it is a wanted life, which suggests that there are some lives not worth
living. However, the present law preventing assisted suicide is morally,
legally, and spiritually justified.

The legalization of doctor assisted suicide would imply that the government
approves of murder under certain circumstances. Therefore, Legalizing euthanasia
would not accord with society's values and morals. Killing is unconstitutional
and to allow it would breach the law's moral code. The purpose of banning
euthanasia is similar to Canada's policy against capital punishment. Both
objectives are connected to the importance society places in protecting the
sanctity of human life. The active participation by an individual in the death
of another is clearly unethical.

By legalizing euthanasia there is a chance that this law can be abused and
