安乐死英语小论文Euthanasia

Topic: Euthanasia should be legalized.Tagore once said: let life be beautiful like summer flowers, and death like autumn leaves. Death should not be a process which is passive, desperate, filled with endless suffering instead it could be active, peaceful and decent. Euthanasia grants those who struggle with terminal illness or incurable morbidity merciful death, reflecting respect for autonomy of life. According to the modern medical ethics, social morality and the fundamental spirit of the criminal law and the constitution, therefore we have reasons to believe that euthanasia is reasonable and should be legalized from the perspective of philosophy, ethics and law. (97)Firstly, euthanasia is beneficial to those who suffer from fatal illness from a philosophical perspective. As we know, it is the degree of happiness rather than the length of life that embodies the life value. Obviously, euthanasia is a wiser and happier choice compared with living in long-term anguish, helplessness and mortal fear. Furthermore, people enjoy the right to live as well as the right to die, so the legalization of the euthanasia reflects respect for people’s life, personality and dignity.(81)Besides philosophical rationality, euthanasia also conforms to the modern medical ethics and social ethics. Bacon once said：A doctor's duty is not only to cure diseases of the patients, but also to alleviate their suffering and sorrow. For the hopeless patients, advanced medical technologies just delay the breakdown, prolongingphysical and mental suffering of them, increasing the psychological and economic burden of their family, squandering pharmaceutical resources of our society, in some way, violating the modern medical ethics and social ethics. (82)The main focus of euthanasia controversy should rests on whether it constitute a crime or not，not on its philosophical or ethical rationality. In my opinion, the implementation of euthanasia does not violate criminal policy. Firstly, the essence of crime is its serious harm to our society. Obviously, euthanasia isn’t harmful to our society. By contrast, it benefits our society for saving pharmaceutical resources. Moreover, the purpose of legislation is to maintain the social order and ensure the normal life of the citizens so punishment about euthanasia is unnecessary. (90)。

Euthanasia, a quiet and easy death, or “mercy killing” as we call it recently has made theheadlines frequently. Many people applaud it and argue that euthanasia should be legalized.As is pointed out, to practise euthanasia can benefit both the patient and his family. To aterminally ill person who is suffering excruciating pains day and night or living “like a vegetable”, to be allowed to end his life painlessly is a good release. To his family it is also a big relief considering the financial and emotional drain on them that having to sustain his lifeentails. However, the legalization of euthanasia may also bring with it problems our society has not previously faced. Is it humane, for example, that a terminally ill patient is thus caused to feelguilty for remaining alive because he does not want to die? Is it wise that a patient is killed alive simply because of a mistaken terminal diagnosis? And is it possible that euthanasia could be taken advantage of for some ulterior or even criminal purposes?Since the legalization of euthanasia will raise serious moral and social issues, the decision our society makes about euthanasia will undoubtedly have tremendous consequences in society.。

Advantages of the Implementation of EuthanasiaEuthanasia, originated from the Greek, formerly refers to "happy death" or "dignified death". In several English dictionaries, it is explained as 〝painless death of a person with an incurable and miserable disease or of an aging person〞, or 〝the practice of killing without pain a person who is suffer from a disease that cannot be cured〞. Chinese scholars define euthanasia like this "to an incurable patient in critically ill critical condition, due to his physical and spiritual suffering, with the patient’s and their relatives’ request and after the doctor's approval, the operation of the method which lead the patient to die without pain〞(1).In the 1930s, in American and some European countries scholars began to promote euthanasia. In American people established the "death without pain" society and British a "voluntary analogue death" community was built, people started activities related with euthanasia in order to achieve the legal admission.Afterwards, legal issues about euthanasia have been discussed over the whole world; hence much progress has been achieved. Since 1980s, some developed western countries gradually passed some laws and regulations related to euthanasia. In China, June 1986, the first euthanasia case happened Shaanxi province, Hanzhong city. And in 1992, June 25, Shaanxi provincial higher people's court upheld this case in the second final -- not guilty plea (2). This case caused quite a sensation at that time, and proposed the issues of Chinese euthanasia. From then on, discussions about the issue have never stopped.Virtually there are many advantages of implementing euthanasia, in terms of social, family, and the patients themselves. In this essay all the benefits will be elaborated respectively as follows. With regard to the social benefits, if the euthanasia is applied legally, not only the large amount of medicinal expense, but the medicinal resources can be saved reasonably.Firstly, the implementation of euthanasia can reduce the social burden of medical expenses. According to statistics, there are 5 ~ 7 million vegetative patients in current China, consequently, in order to maintain these patients of medical expenses of the first year cost in hospital the cost is 10 to 30 million Yuan, and after hospitalization it costs about 6 ~ 9 million each year(5). Meanwhile every year the total money that needs to spend on the home treatment and nursing costs at least 1.5 million. Thus to maintain such is two much expensive and the big deal of money can be used in other more useful fields.Secondly, euthanasia helps save more medicine resources and thus realizes a more reasonable distribution of them. As a developing country, all sorts of medical resources in the domestic market are still relatively in deficiency. However, patients without survival hope occupy medical equipment and medical personnel in long term, and they use a lot of medical drugs to continue a meaningless hope. This apparently is a serious waste to limited health resources. If these resources can be used for those more urgent and hopeful patients, they will receive an effective utilization. Thirdly, euthanasia does much good to the transplant of human organ. At present each country is faced with the human organ source shortage predicament. Since there are no enough organ sources, many patients die. If those seriously ill patients without curable hope can denote their organs after euthanasia, more alive patients will recover.However, some people are against the implantation of euthanasia in the view that those hopeless patients have their own right to live and the society should not sacrifice their common rights. But as far as laws are concerned, euthanasia is implemented according to the patient, theirfamily and the doctor’s willing, therefore, it is an end of the patients’suffering rather than sacrifice.If the opponents of euthanasia are against the social benefits as mentioned above, people can not ignore the requests of the patients themselves. For those who are seriously ill and incurable, a painless death is a satisfactory ending to them. Through euthanasia, they will die peacefully without the physical and spiritual suffering. 1971 in Dutch, a doctor helped her mother to apply euthanasia according to her mother’s request, thus her mother can rest after horrible torture. In this way both the patient and people around receive a resolution. For those who are against this issue and take this behavior as illegal, they should stand in the patients’ shoes and realize that they would rather die dignifiedly than suffering.Meanwhile, it is not doubt that an incurable patient causes heavy burden to the family. Relatives of such patients have a moral obligation to take care of them. However, in the long run, both the nurse and seeing of patients’ torture put the whole family a lot of pressure. Meanwhile, there is still a great financial burden. As for the patients themselves, they would not let to see the family take so many troubles for them. So with the implementation of euthanasia, the patient can reduce the family’s emotional suffering as well as the economic burden.On the contrary, some humanists argue that euthanasia shows the indifference and coldness of the family, which results in remote relationships among people. However, in the family’s perspective, it is just because they don’t want the patients to suffer any more that they agree to use euthanasia, which also is a manifestation of their love and care to the patient rather than being indifferent.Every coin has two sides, and it is the same with the issue of euthanasia. People blame it for the shrinking of responsibility, human coldness and crimes it brings, at the same time many others are calling for the legalization of it. From the above elaborations, and take the consideration of the patients themselves, the family burdens and the social benefits, a conclusion can be drawn that advantages of euthanasia outweigh its disadvantages. Therefore, the permission of legalization of euthanasia should be advocated for the sake of the whole society.References1. 楚东平.安乐死[M].上海:上海文化出版社,1988:10.2. 王晓慧.论安乐死[M].长春:吉林人民出版社,2004.3. 欧阳涛：“安乐死的现状与立法”，载《法制与社会发展》1996年第5期.4. 呼满红张晖《“安乐死”离我们有多远》载《民主与法制》2001年第11期.5.

Euthanasia: Is it time to make it legalization?Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering. There are various euthanasia laws in each country. The British House of Lords Select Committee on Medical Ethics defines euthanasia as "a deliberate intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering". In the Netherlands and Belgium, euthanasia is understood as "termination of life by doctors at the request of a patient". The Dutch law however, does not use the term 'euthanasia' but includes it under the broader definition of "assisted suicide and termination of life on request".As is pointed out, the application of euthanasia is able to benefit both patients and families. It can support patients to dead rapidly and relieve them from the pain. For these people, the quality of life is the great value of life. For these patients who can never be treated, death is unavoidable to them, thus, euthanasia is the optimal avenue to prevent themselves away from great pain. Besides, these patients have to suffer from the pain, likewise, their family members have to understand the expensive charges and the great hurt mentally. Therefore, it is merciful for the doctors to help patients come to an end of their life with the euthanasia. In addition, to reduce the pain of the patients is one of the doctors' duties, as well as euthanasia. Generally speaking, everyone has the right and freedom to manage their own final destiny, refuse to accept any other cure. Thereby, right also includes the freedom of choosing to die as well as the ways of death. Even when it is indispensable to ask somebody else to end their life. To sup up, I would like to call on the legitimization of the euthanasia to let the patients get rid of the struggle between life and death as soon as possible.。

Euthanasia should be illegalSubmitted by: XxxxxxEnglish WritingDecember 15, 2009OutlineThesis: Euthanasia should be illegal.(1)Introduction: the definition and general introduction of euthanasia is broughtabout.(2)The legality of euthanasia differs in different countries and more importanceshould be attached to ethics and moral principles.(3)From the aspect of ethics, we oppose the performing of euthanasia mainly for fourreasons.A.Some patients choose euthanasia just because of poverty.B.Some doctors may give up the efforts to save the sufferers if euthanasia ispermitted.C.The euthanasia may be used to murder the patients.D.No one should be denied the right to live.(4)A survey is introduced about people‟s attitude toward euthanasia.(5)Conclusion: euthanasia should be made illegal.Euthanasia should be illegalThe term …euthanasia‟ derives from the ancient Greek word euthanatos, meaning …easy death,‟ which combines eu …good‟ and thanatos …death‟. In Webster‟s dictionary euthan asia is defined as “the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals (persons or domestic animals) in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy”（Pestalozzi 263）. Generally speaking, euthanasia is not a new problem, and until now, it is still a controversial issue. The euthanasia itself is a complex problem which covers so many fields, such as law, ethics, medical principle and so on.As to the legality of euthanasia, although euthanasia law was legalized in some west countries, such as Netherlands, which is the first country to make euthanasia legal, there is no definite legal provision to allow euthanasia in our country. To many of us, to perform euthanasia on the sufferer is no less than murdering. Of course, we have to admit that euthanasia can lessen the pain of the sufferer to a certain extent so that the patient can die without enduring so much pain. But, we should also realize that there are surely ethics and moral principles which we should attach more importance to.From the aspect of ethics, we oppose the performing of euthanasia mainly for four reasons. First, some sufferers, especially those in poverty, choose euthanasia just because they do not want the family to get involved into financial problems. As their family members, should we give up and see the one who are intimate to us die in desperate? The answer is of course not. What we should do is just to back them andencourage them. Second, if euthanasia is permitted, then some doctors may just give up the efforts to save the sufferer and abandon the patients to euthanasia, which may insult the essence and mission of the doctor. Third, in order to get the estates of the patients, the relatives of the sufferer and the doctor may take advantage of euthanasia to murder the patients. Fourth, life is given to us only once, thus, no one should be denied the right to die. Here, I would like to mention the euthanasia issue happened in Florida America. That is the story about Terri Schindler-Schiavo, who was in a condition of diminished consciousness since 1990. Although at last, she was disconnected from life support at the request of her husband, this event still drew much public attention and even the US government was involved (Wikipedia). Schindler-Schiavo has died, but the argumentation of her death and the argumentation about moral principles have not stopped.As to the attitudes towards euthanasia in general and attitudes towards legalization of euthanasia, doctor Radulovic and Mojsilovic had once made a survey among oncologists, home care physicians (family doctors), third-year medical students and lawyers. The result showed that more than half of the individuals (57%) were against euthanasia, and 61% are against the legalization of euthanasia (Radulovic and Mojsilovic 400-412). So, making efforts to reduce the pains of sufferer, trying our best to save the patient, showing more care to the patient, and improving the service of the hospital are really something more important than euthanasia.As to the legality of euthanasia, different people may have different opinions. But we should always believe that medical problems today may be solved tomorrow. Sothe sufferer should not be given up. As long as we have confidence, then everything is possible. Besides, euthanasia is to some extent against the ethics and is not widely accepted. So, euthanasia should be made illegal.Works cited:Pestalozzi, “Euthanasia: do we know it and do we need it?”, Support Care Cancer, no.10 (April 2002):263-264.Radulovic, Mojsilovic, “Attitudes of oncologists, family doctors, medical students and lawyers to euthanasia”, Support Care Cancer, no.6 (1998):410-415Terri Schiavo case, Wikipedia, /wiki/Terri_Schiavo: Accessed December 18, 2009。

Analysis of the reason why thelegislation about euthanasia is sodifficult剖析安乐死立法困难的原因Analysis of the reason why the legislation about euthanasiais so difficultSummary：Nowadays, the problem of euthanasia has brought into focus. Even though euthanasia benefits a lot in several aspects and it is commonly accepted by more and more people that euthanasia is reasonable, the legislation about euthanasia is still difficult. This essay mainly analyses why the patients like to die peacefully, why the doctors choose to give the patients euthanasia and why the relatives of the patients agree to assist them dying. By these analyses, we can see the difficulty in bringing euthanasia into justify towards the people in different position and the result of it.After learning Unit 5 and doing our presentation, I have a clearer understanding of euthanasia. Euthanasia is a kind of method that makes people die without any pain. It’s often carried out on those who has got an incurable disease or die soon. During recent years, the problem of euthanasia is quite common. Patients suffered a lot because of their disease, using some drugs to lift them out of their misery seem like a good way to go. Polls taken recently also showed that a majority of people is in favor of euthanasia. But for euthanasia legislation in many countries, it is a twists process, and it always ended up with no result. Why the legalization of euthanasia has so many obstacles? What limited the legalization of it? The reasons, in my mind, can be summed up in three aspects.First of all, from the perspective of the patients, if they know there is a way to avoid the suffering and die easily, they are more likely to surrender to their disease.Some of the treatment process is painful indeed; it is a hard task not only on the patient’s body, but their mental health as well. But there is also a possibility that maybe after you have suffered through this, you can recover and have a new life. For example, a man called DengShaobin, he has a firsthand experience of seeking euthanasia desperately and hoped to die as soon as possible, but after a heartfelt talk with the other people, he chose to live on bravely. He has also written a book to encourage those who want to give up their life to face the reality and enjoy their life. On another aspect, to receive treatment is a pricy option on an ordinary economic situation. When huge cost was put into treatment but there is no any improvement of their health, the patients will have a feeling that they compromised the family. Nobody wants to see the person he loved suffering pain because of him, so, as a matter of fact, many people prefer to choose a cheaper way to end up their life to reduce the burden of the family, and euthanasia turns out to be a good way.Secondly, in terms of the doctors, some of them give up the hope of the patients; they don’t want to waste any time or energy any more, so they just give them euthanasia in order to receive more patients. Another possibility is some doctors give the patients euthanasia so that they can get rid of medical accident. It is a kind of shirking responsibility, even more a kind of murdering. They lack the basic morality of being a doctor, which is a shame.Thirdly is about the relatives of the patients. On the one hand, when the disease is incurable and the patients can’t stand the pain any more, their relatives understand them totally, and then agreed to use euthanasia on them to release them from extreme suffering. On the other hand, as the saying goes,bedrid den long, son’s care gone, so it is inevitable that some people may choose to give the patients euthanasia for the purpose of escape support.In brief, no matter what kind of reason it is, if the legalization of euthanasia succeed, all the things above are more likely to happen. Then there will be a sharp growth of death rate both in active euthanasia and passive euthanasia. Euthanasia is also limited by traditional culture, professional morality and society pressure which are hard to be considerate. These are the reasons why the legalization of euthanasia isso difficult. Therefore the legalization of euthanasia is worth paying attention to.
