Group discussion we had in our class!

Opinions against euthanasia.

I had  a uncle who were terminal ill. He was like a vegetable. he couldn't talk, walk, move.. do anything but my family didn't give up on him and after a while he passed away. I'll never forget the sweet look in his eyes.

I don't want to give up right away because life is important and you can't take it away easily even on your own.


Opinions for euthanasia.

If I were terminal ill, I wound want to die and not suffer from pain.

I would like to get euthanized in order to donate my organs to people who need it.


That's a brief summery of our class discussion and as you can see, it is controversial indeed.
We seem to see the controversy between morals of human, love within family, rights to take control of your own life and helping others sacrificing your own life. What other factors could make euthanasia controversial in your opinion?

    Before I read this blog, I have never think about this topic seriously, but now I have my opinion.
    Same as a one student in my class, if I were terminal ill, I wound want to die and not suffer from pain. I want to be happy even I were in danger. My grandfather had a cancer, he was very annoyed by it. I saw that situation, and it was very painful. Also, I would like to donate my organs to people who need it. If I select euthanasia, I can do it I think.
    This is a very difficult topic, and we can’t say something easily, I think.

We did a presentation in our class!

We had a presentation in our class about euthanasia. We were assigned to creat an NPO related to the topic and present it as if we were recruiting our class members to join us. We found an NPO called "Terminal ill right to die"(TIRD). Our concept is that terminal ill people should have the right to get euthanized but non-terminal ill people shouldn't have the right to get euthanized. Terminal ill people should have the right to end their physical pain. However more and more non-terminal ill people are trying to get euthanized because of stress and depression but life is such an important thing that we shouldn't give up on it so easily. There are always ways to solve any kind of problems but death. We should fight to protect more lives and care more about people. Our project is to collect signatures from people, show our will and make a stricter low for those who wants to get euthanized. Our goal is to decrease the number of non-terminal ill people who gets euthanized...
