Principality Of Euthanasia Being Wrong
‘Killing is always wrong unless there is a moral basis availabe for it. If there is no such moral basis then killing would always be wrong’ Why? ‘Then question arises who will decide if it is causing harm or not’ The patient themselves. If they cannot then most patients assign a next of kin. If this doesn’t happen then we can create legislation of which there is already a lot.
Thank you very much for your guidance Irfan sahab. I will certainly review my understanding. I n my current understanding life has been granted sanctity so there’s no room for anyone to kill another person for any reason other than the two explicitly stated. Even if a person commits suicide, it will inherently be a wrongful act. Depending on the severity of the circumstances God may forgive such a person, however, it will be for God to decide; there’s no way for us to determine how that person shall be dealt with in the hereafter. Similarly, we have no way of conclusively determining in this world whether or not a given person’s condition is unbearable enough to where we can euthanize him. Besides, the motivation for euthanasia is to relieve the physical pain and suffering of another person. We know that in certain instances emotional pain can be as strong, if not greater, than any physical pain. How shall that be dealt with in the context of euthanasia? Can a person be euthanized just because he claims that his pain is unbearable?
