Conclusion & Own opinion

Conclusion

Ultimately, suicide is not about death but about living. The crises that push people to ward suicide and physician-assisted suicide are real and should never be demeaned or diminished. But just as real are the solutions; medical, emotional and spiritual. 

Throughout the pages of the blog, The dignity and worth of every human life are emphasized repeatedly. So are the fallenness of the world and the realiy of suffering. It is in enduring the latter without denying the former. The issues that we face as individuals and as a society are critical, and our responses have eternal as well as temporal
ramifications.  

My own opinion; Euthanasia should be limited
Euthanasia has been one of the most controversial issues all over the world for decades, which brings about a sharp argument on human's life and dignity. Euthanasia has been partially legislated in some countries, but it is not generally permitted in most countries. Euthanasia should be limited to exceptional cases because it can diminish the value of human life, increase the danger of innocent people dying due to misjudgment, and have the possibility of abusing that causes social problems. Life is the major premise of all fundamental rights that human's have. It is the most essential value that can't be violated by any other factors.

Nevertheless, euthanasia challenges the value of life as it advocated human 'dignity' Euthanasia, which means that people give up their own lives or even make someone lead to death, is indeed a grave challenge to the dignity of man as regard suicide and homicide as a great guilt because of their disregard for human dignity, however. Some people voluntary euthanasia. Self-determination about voluntary euthanasia is often conducted in one's sentimental and pessimistic condition, though. This unreasonable decision, which is made by someone with severe pain, seems not to be different from suicide committed by someone suffering from mental anguish. The problem is more serious in the case of involuntary euthanasia. Actually, most patients for euthanasia are in a coma, so people do not know their intention to live or not to. The acceptance of euthanasia is often decided involuntarily by people who are deeply related with patients such as family and relatives. Involuntary euthanasia, however, should not be accepted because we do not have any right to disturb the value of others' lives. Decision of euthanasia made by other person can be a murder, even though it has a good intention. 'Mercy killing', which has the same meaning as euthanasia, includes the idea of murder itself. Oath of Hippocrates, which prescribes doctors' ethical duties, also shows that the value of human life should not be swayed by any other facts. Euthanasia has a danger of misjudgment that can cause innocent people to die as well. It is hard to recognize the intentions of patients for euthanasia because most of them are in a coma. These patients are needed to establish the state of death that cannot be recovered before taking euthanasia.

However, it is quite difficult to understand all the medical facts and relations about patients' condition. The possibility of abusing euthanasia can also be social problems. People who agree with euthanasia present the economic and emotional burden of supporters as a main reason. It is true that supporting patients who have no progress in recovery is quite demanding. Euthanasia should not be formally permitted more due to that reason. If euthanasia is allowed, there will the possibility that the economic and emotional sufferings of people works more that the respect for patient's volition to decide euthanasia. Patients will be under pressure by others or themselves for that reason, though voluntary euthanasia should be based on their 'free consent'. 

In addition, there are some crimes using euthanasia. In fact camouflaged crimes such as medical accident and homicide have already happened in some cases. Using euthanasia for illegal organ trade is other type of crimes as well. Euthanasia even can have negative effects on our society. It can increase the possibility of abuse of the weak and elderly, who are the first subject of it. Moreover, abusing euthanasia can promote the tendency to make light of human life. Some people criticize this expectation as an error of slippery slope, a belief that a small problem must lead to a big problem.

Euthanasia is not just limited to individuals but is related to the society and its sense of value. Euthanasia can damage the value of human life. It can also have a risk of making innocent people die and the possibility of abuse of the weak and elderly in our society.
