blog 7 - Mrs Pamela - Li Xinyan (Effy) - My Opinion about Euthanasia (Science and Technology)


Some people think euthanasia is disrespect to life. Legalization of euthanasia is an abuse of the right of life. However, in my opinion, euthanasia should be allowed to execute. The meaning of life lies within one’s pursuit of happiness. When there is no hope to get it and all that has been left is pain and suffering, attempts to remain this torture are truly cruelty and disrespect to life. In contrast, euthanasia can save people who are in torture of incurable diseases further suffering, and reserve their dignity. Moreover, the patient’s family will feel less sorrow if they know the patient will suffer less. They also don’t have to face their loved one rolling back and forth and groaning out of pain in his dying bed. At the same time, they are set free from the huge financial burden of paying endless medical fees. Thus, euthanasia could also bring relief to the patient’s family both mentally and financially.
In a word, I believe euthanasia is a reflection of humanity and progress of human civilization. It should be legalized.

  1. I agree with you partly.
    But I am afraid that some criminals may use it to kill some people who do not want to die.

  2. I am for your opinion. To a certain degree, euthanasia is a reflection of humanity and progress of human civilization. However, I think there should be a a more organizational system that can keep euthanasia from being used for committing crimes.
