Onaga's Exposé of The Bad Side Of Euthanasia by Morenike Onaga https://padlet.com/morenike_m_onaga/tcq2bxpe3edp7cfx Euthanasia is wrong en-us 2020-12-12 16:16:00 UTC 2025-12-21 03:28:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3e5.png Background morenike_m_onaga https://padlet.com/morenike_m_onaga/tcq2bxpe3edp7cfx/wish/1028284330 Many countries in Europe have sanctioned the use of Euthanasia to alleviate sickness or those who are in pain. As a result, many patients were given lethal doses of palliatives to reduce their suffering but they died in the process. ]]> 2020-12-17 16:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/morenike_m_onaga/tcq2bxpe3edp7cfx/wish/1028284330 Statistics morenike_m_onaga https://padlet.com/morenike_m_onaga/tcq2bxpe3edp7cfx/wish/1036259282 "In 2005 academics investigated all 292 children who died before their first birthday in a given year in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking bit of Belgium. In half the cases, doctors had taken an "end-of-life decision", a term that takes in three distinct practices. Most often, doctors withdrew or withheld treatment keeping infants alive, which is quite a common practice. In 40 cases, painkillers such as morphine were used to alleviate suffering, but at high doses likely to hasten death: a legal grey area. In 17 cases lethal drugs or doses were illegally given to end life."

"John Close endured the painful deterioration of his body from Lou Gehrig's disease for two years. By the time he died, he couldn't talk or swallow. He could barely move without assistance...John wanted to end his life. Because assisted suicide was illegal in Britain, where they lived, John and Lesley flew to Switzerland, which allows assisted suicide for both citizens and foreigners."

2. "The big growth industry are these. What you die of is increasing organ failure, with your respiratory, cardiac, renal, whatever organs packing up. Each of these would be an admission to an acute care hospital, at the end of which, or at some point during which, somebody says, enough is enough, and we stop."

The Economist states, "In America a long terminal illness can leave people deep in debt: that makes ethicists fear that euthanasia might be requested for financial reasons" (Economist, 2009). This tells me that there are not many checks and balances regarding Euthanasia.

The government should establish strict protocols and steps that hospitals should follow before pulling the plug.
2. "I think most people don't want to be dead, but I do think most people want to have some control over how their dying process proceeds. So I'm an opponent of euthanasia, but I do think we have to give people back some control."
3. Families of the patient should also be screened for motives but also be involved in the process.

Let us take action to stop Euthanasia.
Vulnerable people like children, the elderly, the differently-abled, and terminally ill people are at risk for involuntary assisted suicide. Doctors are taking the dignity of human life into their own hands. We need to create an effective social barrier to euthanasia and assisted suicide by instantly rejecting it when offered. We need to increase our understanding and have respect for the dignity of human life. We need to encourage government support for hospice/palliative care systems and community care services. We need to be genuinely interested and build compassion for community care.
