Euthanasia: An Ethical Standpoint
The act of ending a person’s life, directly or indirectly to end their misery and often by the act of euthanasia has been the cause of ethical and moral debates for ages. Euthanasia can be accomplished either actively or passively. In active euthanasia, a person participates in the killing of a person while, in the passive euthanasia, they fell to act in so doing they make the person die. The role in the death is achieved by the not acting in a way that will cause them to die.
Ethical and moral implications become the center of debates and arguments. This paper focuses on arguing about the fact that situations and scenarios arise that force a person to make the decision of using euthanasia. The very fact that a person has the power and right to autonomy makes euthanasia morally and ethically right. Living and dying are sometimes left in the hands of the patient in the cases of terminal diseases.
The pain a patient might be going through in comparison to them choosing to die often causes debate. However, one has to deeply consider the pain and misery that a person goes through and the option of death. Killing and letting a person die has no moral significant difference, however, based on virtue ethics by Aristotle it makes an argument that the good of society is always greater than that of an individual.
By a person choosing to make the sacrifice of their life for the betterment and gain of the society, is by all mean right according to virtue ethics. Benefiting other people, for instance by financial gain to the family by sacrificing one’s life in the event of terminal illness is the greatest good a person can give to fellow human beings. Euthanasia offers a pathway that such individuals can use to ensure they give back to the society.
