Euthanasia should be legalized with requirements

Freedom and dictatorships are not opposites. Freedom and totalitarianism are, and democracy and dictatorship are. You can have a totalitarian democracy or a freedom protecting dictatorship.You say I used the False cause logical fallacy but it don't see that I said any false causation. I said pain makes you do things you would not normally do, and torture is was just an example of how pain will change what people do. I did not commit that logical fallacy. I could prove it just by stating that many nations still use torture to "change" peoples minds' and if pain didn't do this then nobody would use torture.1. never ending or changingFirst, the human body is always changing and nothing about it is never ending or changing including pain. The statement about people suffering from depression is to show that most are suffering from that mental disorder, and not in the right mind to make such big decisions. Yes, people are suffering, but suffering can be relived as previously stated. I never stated that depression caused their suffering or illness, I just people with the suffering usually have depression and are not in their right judgement. 2. Being hooked up to a machine is what keeps many people alive such as Terri Schiavo.In Terri Schiavo case was not euthanasia, she should have never been hooked up to a machine in the first place if was against her will."As far as a child being able to make the choice to end their life, that is another debate altogether though that would be a very tricky topic."Children don't have the ability to make such decisions which is why we don't let them do many other things like smoking, driving, buying a house. Gallup pollThen inter-racial marriage would have been banned for much longer, and so would segregation, slavery, laws that teach creationism. Just because something is popular doesn't make it right. Hopefully, you like the death penalty because that is popular, just like being pro-life. If tomorrow a poll revealed that 80% of people agreed that citizens over 60 should be euthanized to reduce medical cost would that be something we should make law? After all it is the people's will.Marijuana is legal in four states? Really please name them since I only know of two. [3]3. The belief of the majority has been overlooked because it wasn't right like ending slavery. We are a republic not a democracy there are certain things that no matter how many people favor can not be done like ending the freedom of press. Further, democracies have done terrible things at the majority whim like executing Socrates. [1] Also, there is plenty of negatives which is why it is legal for states to forbid such actions."'What gives us the right to deny them what they so desperately want?' Again we are not talking about something malicious such as murder"Why not murder? If they desperately want it why not? You gave no reason on why not."Policies change all the time such as those pertaining to marijuana."So, what does this prove?"True we do impede on the choices of others on certain topics but euthanasia is a unique problem that cannot be compared to the wide variety of subjects you mentioned. If you like I could go into depth on each of these subjects to show why they have no relevance."Yes, I would like that because there is no reason why they are not in the same category."Your logical fallacy was an appeal to authority since there are laws prohibiting your examples."Really, is this a joke? Appeal to authority: "You said that because an authority thinks something, it must therefore be true." [2] I never said the law forbids, so it must continue to be forbidden. That is an appeal to authority. You falsely claimed another logical fallacy.As for the slippery slope, this is also false. First, this is only a fallacy if "no proof is presented" [4], and I drew direct correlations such as targeting elderly, the disabled, the sick. Now to the appeal to nature. This is yet another false claim. I said "Refusing medical treatment isn't suicide, they are not ending there life any sooner than would naturally", which is just telling why refusing medical treatment isn't suicide. There is no claim that this is good or bad or preferred. I was just stating a fact, so to claim I said "Con contends that euthanasia is ending a life sooner than it would naturally so therefore it is not right or justifiable." If, this were true I would have never advocated for palliative care since it would extend a persons life beyond natural means.3. Right to Die Terri Schiavo' s case is a interesting one. "There are no written declarations by Terri Schiavo as to her intention with regard to the issue" [5] The issue of life support. Her case was between her husband and her parents who believed she had opposite stance on this issue. Either way it was euthanasia without her consent which is non-voluntary euthanasia which is going down the slippery slope.Sources[1] http://law2.umkc.edu...[2] https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com...[3] http://www.governing.com...[4] https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com...[5] http://abstractappeal.com...
