ASSISTED SUICIDE

Assisted Suicide

Abstract

In this study, we try to explore the concept of Assisted Suicide in a holistic context. The research focuses on Assisted Suicide with relation to religious, epistemology and ethical perspective. The aim of the research is to focus on assisted suicide, there is a danger of sliding towards voluntary euthanasia, voluntary euthanasia to involuntary euthanasia for the sick and elderly, disabled or children born with severe malformations, finally, any person considered undesirable by the company. This catastrophic vision is lost in conjectures. Assisted suicide is in principle a voluntary death as may be voluntary euthanasia, while all died without consent of the person who dies are another area and another debate.

Assisted Suicide

Thesis Statement

The concept of assisted suicide has little to do with the general phenomenon of suicide and applies only to cases of people suffering from the fatal disease that would be appropriate to request voluntary euthanasia. As for the very action of assisted suicide, if it is a variant of voluntary euthanasia, it must be subject to the same ethical epistemological and religious considerations. Contrary to the claims of the official statements of the Catholic Church or those supporters of palliative care, they establish continuity between palliative care and voluntary death.

Introduction

The term assisted suicide is a literal translation of English assisted suicide, which comes from the United States. The argument is clearly valid. If the first two premises are true, the conclusion logically follows. To evaluate the soundness of the argument, one must evaluate the first two premises individually. The first two premises contain a term that is not necessarily clear name as plays God. One must first be clear on what it means to say that someone plays God in order to know whether participating in suicide constitutes playing God or whether playing God is indeed wrong (Torr 2000). One might respond that it is not the act of making a life-or-death decision that is morally arrogant, but that of making a certain type of life-or-death decision, namely that decision that someone should die rather than live.

The difference between the two acts is the fact that euthanasia is performed by someone other than the patient, usually a physician, while assisted suicide is an act by which the patient is given its own death. The doctor, or sometimes another person assists the patient decided to die voluntarily making available an appropriate drug, that it can administer, or instrument as may be used at the time of their choice. In the case of assisted suicide, the patient himself is the main actor of his decisive action, and it does not undergo passive medical intervention, as is the case of euthanasia (Moreno 2005). Some doctors and ethicists prefer assisted suicide to euthanasia, because the free will to die is more obvious, and the physician's role is reduced to professional help.

Discussion

The debate is so complex because the core value on both sides is rooted in two different areas. In general, it seems more reasonable to base our ...
