WHO ACTUALLY BENEFITS? IS IT WORTH IT? |
There are many concerns that could be caused by euthanasia,
including:
-It would violate the doctor's Hippocratic Oath- Doctors could simply just decide to give up on lives that are potentially saveable. -It decreases the value of human life- life is looked at as something that doesnt matter and is to be given up on for no reason. -Many religions believe that if you commit suicide you are sent straight to Hell. Therefore, it is harder for the famililes. -Doctors and families may be prompted to give up on recovery much too early. -Government and insurance companies may may put undue pressure on doctors to avoid heroic measures or recommend the PAS procedure. This could eventually lead to some type of genocide?? -Could give doctors an excessive amount of power. POTENTIAL HARMS?As far as the human race should be concerned the process of euthanasia will not lead to any such break outs of diseases nor would it cause an unequal treatment among the people, but it could potentially lead to the destruction of the human race all together, or an extreme decrease in population. Euthanasia has an influence on the "natural selection" process as well, some may is is a good thing, but by doing this you could be severely messing with the genes of human beings being passed down in the gene pool.

The only ones who would truely benefit are those who have terminal illnesses and severly suffering, and those who actually need it are unfortunatley usually the one who wouldnt be able to afford it.
WHO WOULD CONTROL MONEY ASPECTS?Theoretically all funding would be left to insurance companies and the fear is that they would take advantages of this procedure and push more and more doctors to jump to this final conclusion so that they no longer have to provide that person with medical insurance, saving them money. If companies were given this power causing the ultimate fear that it could eventually lead to some type of mass genocide.
WHAT SHOULD THE PUBLIC BE AWARE OF?In the interest of the public, euthanasia is not something that should be legal. This controversial aspect could lead to may things that would or could destroy the human population all together if it was let get that bad, coming from a potential genocide or mass killing.
