Who Has The Right for Ending a Life?
Euthanasia means ending a life by intention and in a painless manner. Especially , in recent times, there is an argument over whether it must be legal or not. Some people consider euthanasia is an only solution for patients who has uncurable disease or unbearable pain in his body. Sometimes, relatives of patient claim that instead of seing patient in this upsetting position with his severe pain, they think providing him a comfortable death would be beter. Sometimes high cost of the treatements can be reason of applying this way. Also the doctor can suggest the relatives to turn off the lifetube, ıf he hasn’t any hope for recovering of the patient.
However ,in my opinion none of those reasons is acceptable for applying to euthanasia.
All over the world,a big argument on its legitimating is growing day by day. As we know, euthanasia isnt legal in our country such as Argantine, Russia , France etc.. According to these countries , euthanasia can be seen as a murder and neither doctors nor even the closest relatives of patient can decide the ending his life behalf of him. Maybe he likes life and content with his situation in spite of everything.
On the other hand ,if we asess euthanasia in terms of religions’ sight , we will see almost all religions are against to it. As in our religion,İslam, we believe that our life has been given by God and we have any right for deciding on the time of our death or any power to take ıt.
That power belongs to only our creator.
