Decriminalizing Euthanasia

In today's society, humans allow things like war and self-defense. Although both measures are accepted, today's euthanasia in Canada is still illegal and banned. Euthanasia is a deliberate murder of a person with sickness and euthanasia is often a personal choice of a sick person (Medina, 13). First of all, euthanasia is a behavior of love and compassion. Second, euthanasia is usually a personal choice and should not be rejected. Finally, doctor's assistance in euthanasia is not vulgar, it is appropriate in glory.

Euthanasia is a type of euthanasia that is suitable for children with severe illness or severe congenital deficiency. In 2005, the Netherlands became the first country legalizing infant euthanasia, but these infants have neither a prognosis nor a refractory pain. Nine years later, Belgium amended the euthanasia death law in 2002 and expanded the right of euthanasia to minors. Like euthanasia, there is a worldwide public debate and moral debate about moral, philosophical and religious problems of children's euthanasia.

In 2005, lawmakers legalized another form of euthanasia as a baby. In recent years, the number of cases of euthanasia in newborns is decreasing because the behavior of parents is getting faster and faster. A new prenatal screening system was introduced that allows parents to stop pregnancy if ultrasonography results in severe congenital anomalies within 20 weeks of gestation. The pediatrician, Edouard Velhagen, helped determine the Dutch euthanasia guide for the baby. He said that the law should go further. "If the deadline is 12 years old, there may be children aged 11 years and nine months. They can decide their own destiny and make decisions themselves, but seek euthanasia You can not."

The best solution is to achieve non-criminalization of euthanasia by managing regulation and legalization. The Voluntary Euthanasia Society created a proposal for voluntary euthanasia. There are several requirements: Patient must be intolerable, painful, mentally helpless, severe adult; request must be in writing; second medical opinion and psychiatric evaluation is sought; And only the doctor can carry out this action (voluntary euthanasia - basic, np). By legalizing euthanasia, doctors no longer have to worry about prosecution, and they are free to choose whether they will help patients end pain. In order to prevent abuse and ensure that suicide assistance is professional and fair, it is necessary to develop state laws or regulations concerning suicide by physicians.
