EUTHANASIA
who is repeatedly asking for euthanasia and who is of sound mind be given assistance in dying so
that they could do it in a dignified manner rather than have their lives prolonged by medical
technology?
Ultimately, it's a question of choice: empowering people to have control over their own bodies.
The main opposition comes from religious groups, medical associations whose members see
practising euthanasia as an inproper exctension of their role as carers. Throughout centuries the
doctors' purpose in life has been to cure suffering, how can they be expected to do otherwise,
even if it's done for a good cause.
The issue has been misinterpreted by some people. They seem to be of the opinion that
practicing euthanasia would turn nursing homes into places of fear and elderly people in
residencial home are afraid that they will be a candidate.
