World Federation of Right to Die Societies

Ryan Anderson, William E. Simon senior research fellow in American principles and public policy at The Heritage Foundation, argues that physician-assisted suicide is never the right call and should remain illegal. He is completely against it and believes this should be the mindset of others as well. Anderson discusses several of the problems it poses such as “endangering the weak and vulnerable, corrupting the practice of medicine, and betraying human dignity and equality before the law.” He has researched a plethora of information and is trying to expose what he thinks are wrongful issues. He also shows an alternative to the issue, discussing palliative care. Palliative care is, “medical and related care provided to a patient with a serious, life-threatening, or terminal illness that is not intended to provide curative treatment but rather to manage symptoms, relieve pain and discomfort, improve quality of life, and…

intentional killing to end a person’s suffering, typically only classed as such when carried out by a medical professional. The ‘Oxford dictionary’ [source 1] defines euthanasia as “The painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma”. The ‘World Federation of Right to Die Societies’[source 2] states that the term is derived and compounded from the Greek words “eu”, meaning “good”, and “thanatos”, meaning “death”. The ‘World Federation of…

Say you’re on your deathbed fighting for every breath you take, you ache and hurt, you want to die. Some people go through this, and they know their time is coming but when is it going to happen? With the right to die, it could happen at a scheduled time and not put the patient through the pain and agony of living with another second of this illness. The right to die should be made available to people who are suffering on a day to day basis, who have a terminal illness or are going to be…

Every young gymnast dreams of competing in the Olympic Games. They picture themselves standing on the Olympic podium with a gold medal around their necks, millions of people cheering for them. Thousands of gymnasts across the world train countless hours, giving everything they have into the sport of gymnastics just for a chance of getting an Olympic title. Gymnastics is enjoyed by both athletes and spectators around the world, but have you ever stopped and wondered how this sport originated?…

Help Me Die! Brittany Maynard was a twenty-four year older in the happiest time of her life. She had been married for a little over a year and was trying for a baby. However, her life took an unexpected turn for the worst when she learned that she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Most of her time and money was then wasted away to hospital visits, medical tests, and doctor meetings. In the process, there was an effort made to stop the growth of her tumor but it failed. In April, the brain…

with the express intention of ending a life to relieve intractable, persistent and unstoppable suffering. In many counties Euthanasia is illegal, it is a controversial series in the world, only few counties allow euthanasia such as Belgium, Switzerland and part of state of US; Hong Kong does not legislate on euthanasia. In this essay, I would like to discuss why some many people do not support euthanasia, since the original word of euthanasia comes from Greek, which consists two words and it…

may be the national 10% that experience immediate complications of an abortion, such as depression, infection, and vomiting. Except they may die like Savita Halappanavar who asked for an abortion after miscarrying and was refused due to laws in Ireland. If they follow a religion such as Christianity, they may be ostracized and told they will go to Hell. On the other hand, if the women follow Judaism it may be seen as a decision that is not to be undertaken without considerable thought.…

highly debated and controversial topic for many years due to its ethical implications. The main issue when it comes to arguing about euthanasia is whether or not it should be supported by society and the government. This means not only the government making it legal for euthanasia to be carried out but also have it facilitated by society. I believe that society should facilitate the humane exit of suffering people. In order to justify this position I will look at how euthanasia is currently…

Euthanasia Many people feel we should be able to end suffering of the ill. Euthanasia is a big question and topic in the United Kingdom today. This is when someone who is ill is receiving medical help to stay alive, when they do not want to stay alive. Someone either a loved one or a doctor is helping them to die. This is a contemporary issue because it is being debated in the media and Scottish Government about its legality in Scotland. I saw it being discussed on the news and thought it would…

immigrant communities demanded social equality; that Australia maintain a plurality of cultures, and the cry for equal distribution of resources between dominant (or elite) ethnicity groups and minority ethnicities(endnote). Australian multiculturalism was extracted from the State, and did not occur as an expression of Australia’s tolerant, welcoming, or cosmopolitan political atmosphere (endnote). Pluralism was not indicative of an absence of prejudice; in fact, pluralism served to highlight…
