acceptable in contemporary culture. The author explains euthanasia and then presents reprisals
for why euthanasia is not ethically nor factually correct. Ending someone's existence is still
euthanasia, and almost all the reasons cannot explain such a decision.
Everyone has an innate desire to live longer. Human reactions and reflexes are designed
to help people resist intruders, avoid feral creatures, and avoid being hit by vehicles. They take
the required precautions and attention to safeguard themselves. This inherent purpose of survival
is violated by euthanasia. It is going against nature since all of mankind's functions are geared
towards physical survival. Euthanasia undermines these nuanced systems in a manner that
sickness and damage might not in a given circumstance, as it “violates the nature and dignity of
human beings” (Vaughn 280). Modern medicine has rigorous criteria of perfection and a track
history of success, yet it lacks flawless and broad understanding. The risks of euthanasia are just
too enormous for anybody to consider supporting it in any manner. The first slick step might
easily escalate to a catastrophic and dangerous collapse. For the most part, healthcare workers
are completely dedicated to ensuring safety. Euthanasia could have a corrosive effect, causing
medical professionals to fail to develop the skills necessary sufficiently to rescue the patients in
any scenario.
Nevertheless, euthanasia is more than just a painless death. It may have been a case of
felony murder. Euthanasia is not simply about death, but a way of killing.
