Q

UK euthanasia

A

All methods of euthanasia are crimes and people involved can be sent to prison.
• the Netherlands have made euthanasia legal if agreed to by the patient, patients family, and at least 2 doctors

24
Q

FOR euthanasia

A
  • pain free death for someone who has been suffering and living in agony for a long time
  • Everyone should have autonomy over their own person. It should be their right to end their life if they want
  • suicide is legal so if they are in pain with a terminal disease, why not help someone who cannot commit suicide themselves
  • it is an action that promotes the best interests of everyone concerned and violates no ones rights (relieves burden on families)
25
Q

AGAINST euthanasia

A
  • not all illnesses diagnosed as terminal will necessarily end in death. There have been miracles before - people can make unexpected recoveries and medical science is now finding cures as technology advances
  • murder
  • weakens society’s respect for the sanctity of life - “it’s better to be dead than be disabled”
  • might not be in the patients best interest and they could be unable to make a sensible judgement
  • slippery slope that leads to the killing of ‘undesirable’ people. Turns from option to kill to duty to kill (how can you prevent the abuse of the system)
26

RCC Euthanasia

A

Absolutely against it!
“An act or omission which causes death in order to eliminate suffering constitutes a murder greatly contrary to the dignity of the human person” catechism of RCC

27
Q

‘Most’ Christians Euthanasia

A

Against but agree with the right of doctors to switch off the life support machine with the consent of patient’s family because of Sanctity of life.

28
Q

Salvation Army Euthanasia

A

“We believe that it’s right to use medical treatment to control pain. We deny the right to legalise the termination of life by a doctor”

29
Q

The Causes of world poverty

A
  • Wars destroy crops, homes, hospitals, force people to leave homes and become refugees in safer countries (influx of refugees can make another country poor)
  • Natural Disasters - earthquakes, floods - destroy many homes and farmlands on which the inhabitants depend. Droughts - no rain fall, crops no grow
  • Debt - many LEDCs have to borrow money from banks of developed countries to survive and begin to develop. The banks charge interest and unpaid interest is added to original debt. The amount that poor countries have to pay in interest to rich countries has risen from 7.4 to 10.3 billion
  • HIV/AIDS - methods of safe sex and drugs to control the disease used in rich countries are far too expensive. South Africa - largest number of people with HIV/AIDS in Africa and one quarter of the children in South Africa have lost their parents. The loss of so many earners and presence of so many children leads to many uneducated - country poorer.

Q

Media should be allowed to criticise about matters of life and death?

A
  • everyone has a right to the freedom of voicing their own opinion, including media. RCC follows bible and believe and teach their beliefs to be absolute truth. The media should be allowed to express their beliefs as much as religions do.
  • by criticising what religions say, people can be educated and learn different perspectives on their possible situations
