Recommended: An essay on euthanasia practices

I believe that the story 2br ntb was very realistic but unsettling. Don't get me wrong, the story was of dystopian nature, and a very good representation of what might happen to us if our population grew out of control, but people don't need to manage the population by killing others. They could have found ways to limit what people need to survive, or make our bodies have no need of certain things, they could have found ways to let only people who want children to get pregnant. But instead they made their population stay at a specific number of people, it's plain wrong. The doctors don't feel any remorse, as they believe that they are killing in a very humane way to die. But who wants to send a family member or a friend to their deaths, and

    ... of an abusive parent or significant other is it right to take their life to prevent danger of losing your life? I don’t understand why Linda stuck around. Doyle doesn’t provide anything for her family. All he does is endanger Frank mentally and physically. It shouldn’t have taken a “retard” to get rid of Doyle. She should have gotten rid of him in a calmer fashion. That way Karl would be a free man enjoying life on the outside with Frank. The scene that affected me the most emotionally was where Karl and the little boy tell each other “I love you” and than hugged their goodbyes. I was also touched by the way Karl protected Frank and Linda. He made sure they were safe before he killed Doyle.

  • Is it Ethical to Have a Child for the Purpose of Saving another Child´s Life?

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    Recent high profile cases, films and books all around the world including the UK, Australia and the United States have brought to the public’s attention a new type of IVF. ‘Embryo Selection’ meaning ‘Embryos are fertilised outside the body and only those with certain genes are selected and implanted in the womb.’ Henceforth meaning that doctors are now able to select specific embryo’s and implant them into the mother of who may have another sick child in order to gain genetic material such as bone marrow which will match the ill-fated child and therefore hopefully be able to save their life. Creating a ‘saviour sibling’. ‘A child conceived through selective in vitro fertilization as a potential source of donor organs or cells for an existing brother or sister with a life-threatening medical condition’ a definition given by Oxford Dictionaries (1.0). Cases of this are happening all around the globe and many are highly documented about. The most famous case could be noted as in the fictional book of ‘My Sisters Keeper’ By Jodi Picoult. I will further discuss this throughout my dissertation and how books and films can affect the view on certain ethical subjects. Furthermore, I am also going to discuss a range of factors such as certain religious beliefs and the physical creation of saviour siblings compared to the creation of designer babies. Strong views are held by many both for and against the creation of saviour siblings.

  • Critique of Barbara Huttman’s A Crime of Compassion

    1007 Words  | 3 Pages

    Barbara Huttman’s “A Crime of Compassion” has many warrants yet the thesis is not qualified. This is a story that explains the struggles of being a nurse and having to make split-second decisions, whether they are right or wrong. Barbara was a nurse who was taking care of a cancer patient named Mac. Mac had wasted away to a 60-pound skeleton (95). When he walked into the hospital, he was a macho police officer who believed he could single-handedly protect the whole city (95). His condition worsened every day until it got so bad that he had to be resuscitated two or three times a day. Barbara eventually gave into his wishes to be let go. Do you believe we should have the right to die?

    In the process of this experiment, there were a total of two bilingual aphasics and eight monolingual aphasics who were tested through nine different EF test batteries to measure their level of EF which includes behavioural inhibition (response inhibition & interference control), working memory, planning/problem solving and reconstitution.

The main focus of the experimentation was to test these 10 different individuals through conversation to investigate their EF profiles. To attain these results, each

    ...main for that hour – that it would be indecent in her to refuse” (page 119). My problem with this scenario is that she leaves it unfinished. What happens to the child that is then born? If pregnancy only lasted an hour, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal. It’s the part after that (which is taking care of a child) that lasts the rest of your life and is most important. I also feel that Thompson makes assumptions, which make it easier for her to argue her points. In her first argument about the violinist, she says “I would imagine you would regard this as outrageous…” (Page 114). How does she know what people would “imagine?” It seems very arrogant of her to assume that people reading her article would automatically agree with her opinions. I think that the article focuses too much on why the Pro-Life ideas are wrong, instead of why Pro –Choice is right.

  • Dr. Sigmund Rascher's Unethical Medical Experiments

    953 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 1933 German politician Adolf Hitler led a genocide known as the Holocaust, which eventually led to “The Final Solution”, throughout this time over 6 million Jews were persecuted due to the fact that “The Nazi ideology was predicated on the concept of racial supremacy. At the top of the tree was the Aryan race; at the foot were the ‘untermenschen’: blacks, gypsies, homosexuals and Jews” (Bogod). During this time German doctors performed a number of unethical medical experiments in order to advance in medicine, these crimes were committed against individuals, without consent. Recently, I read Auschwitz: A Doctor’s Eyewitness Account, a novel written by Dr. Miklos Nyiszli, the information documented in the novel was difficult to digest due

Any procedure not properly introduced, researched, and carried out has the potential to fail and we as educated people need to be aware of this fact. Any small or large experiment could fall through and prove fatal to anyone. It scares most people to think about the fact that at any time our world could change as we know it. Utopia is unachievable simply because there is no such thing as perfect.

  • The Euthanasia Program: Life Unworthyy Of Life

    ...ure of T4. Doctors and psychiatrists, many of whom were considered experts in their fields, were conditioned to defy Hippocratic principles, leading them to find the death of their patients to be a desirable outcome. Moreover, many of these professionals were willing to lend their significant credibility to the euthanasia program, manipulating desperate parents and mentally disabled patients so that the killings could continue uninterrupted. Though they acted under a veil of secrecy, these doctors took great pride in their work and many even received honorary medals. The cleansing of the disabled, they believed, was a noble cause. This conditioning was T4’s greatest achievement. Without the compliance of medical professionals, it is likely that the Nazis would never have been able to implement the euthanasia program, let alone the Final Solution.

  • Analysis Of Stéphane Haber's 'Emancipation From Capitalism'

    740 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to a doctor in the documentary, people are coming to the ICU’s to die. (Lyman et al, 2011) Due to the fact that technology to sustain life is available the decision to end life has become much more complicated yet more people die in hospitals then anywhere else. (Lyman et al, 2011) The story of Marthe the 86 year old dementia patient stood out to me upon viewing the documentary because I recently just had my great grandmother go through the same situation. (Lyman et al, 2011) Marthe entered the ICU and was intubated for two weeks while her family members decided whether to perform a tracheotomy or take her off life support. (Lyman et al, 2011) The family was having a tough time deciding due to the fact that the doctors could sustain Marthe’s life if they requested it. Marthe ended up being taken off the ventilator and to everyone’s surprise was able to breathe but, a day later she could no longer do so and now she has been on life support for a year. (Lyman et al, 2011) Another patient that I took particular interest in was John Moloney a 53 year old multiple myeloma patient who has tried every form of treatment with no success. (Lyman et al, 2011) Despite trying everything he still wanted treatment so he could live and go home with his family but ended up in

  • Sarah Terzo's View Of Abortion

    As said in Sarah's article "Med student was all for abortion, until he watched one happen", Sarah Terzo had received a message from an anonymous Med Student saying that a Med student was shadowing an abortion as his experience for his training but didn't take into consideration what the abortion would involve. He explains in his anonymous tip that he was very liberal and pro-choice, and Sarah read that, before, he only viewed the fetus as "a mass of cells." (Sarah, Page one). He was used to the thought of abortion and didn’t take on the thought that he would be disturbed by this performance, in fact, he saw this opportunity as something "new, edgy and exciting." This writer includes the full description of what the student observed. There was

    ... very controversial topic out into view. Viewers can see just how abortion has evolved through the decades and may change many people’s minds about how they think of abortion. Seeing the desperation on the faces of the women in the three different years never changes. All three are left with only a few choices that they must make on their own, where none of the choices are very appealing, and decide on something that they will have to live with for the rest of their lives. No matter what year it is though, each woman has been left to deal with being pregnant and what to do about it on her own. That is something to think about. This movie achieves a good rating, and is recommended for people who want to see what abortion is about from the view of a victim, someone left to deal with it on her own and make a decision that will follow her for the rest of her life.
