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. We also do cauncelings, meeting discussions and lectures at school and work plances in order to prevent assisted suicide and spread awareness about the issue. We not only stop non-terminal ill people from getting euthanized but we also talk to them and try to help them solve their problems.
We are able to put our projects in actions by donations and the money we receive from lectures. We also have a twitter account where people can contact and join us.
Euthanasia is still a very controversial topic. People from various religions, countries, cultures, may have various opinions about it but we are all human and we all know that life is something we can't take away easily. We should care more and make people around us be willing to live.
We had feedbacks about our presentation.
Overall, from one to five we got an average of 4.
Our class mates seemed to like our twitter account that is easy for anyone to access and our 3 minute video we made based on a true story where a women got euthanaized because she was depressed and her son was shocked to know about the incident later when he was e-mailed to go pick her body up at the hospital. They also thought our NPO was unique in that we are not for nor against euthanasia.

I personally agree with euthanasia because I believe that a person has the right to live, and die under difficult circumstances. However, I do understand the feeling of those who strongly as well. If someone in your family, or someone close to you in any way, wants to commit euthanasia, it would be very difficult for you to just say ok to it because you agree with the idea of euthanasia. I thought this controversy is a very complicated one, because it relates to not only one’s thoughts, but also religious beliefs and laws, and there maybe is no single correct answer.
返信削除To be honest, I haven't thought about euthanasia since I learned about it through your blog and presentation. It is really controversial because it is related to human life. Now, I agree with euthanasia even though I don't have an experience when I had to think about. If my family or friends want to do it in a serious situation, it would be hard for me to lose them. However, they have the right what to do although it leads to their death. I want them to choose their own lives. However, there is no correct answer. It is good to have an opinion that is different depending on each of us.
返信削除I once saw a movie called "Me before you" which focused on a man wanting to kill himself because he had a terminal disease. A girl fell in love with him and tried to change his mind, but he ended up using this method and died at the end. It made me rethink about my life. "What would I do in such situation?" Maybe I would do the same thing, but I can't assure anything because I'm not in the same shoes.
