Euthanasia
- Religious Views
- Christian
- Church views
- Catholic
- The catholics beleive that euthanasia is almost always wrong except
when you are removing unnatural means of keeping the person alive for
example, artificial life support. They also accept drugs that releive pain
but as a side effect shorten the life of the person e.g morphine,
although this does not inclide overdoses

- Methodist
- They used to argue that if the sufferer feels all the
dignity and beauty has gone in life then to be
euathanised would be acceptable. But now they argue
against the legaistaion of euthanasia as they feel it puts
an unnecessary pressure on doctors.

- Arguments for and against
- Against
- All life is sacred and the sanctity of life
should not be disturbed or shortend
- Accepting euthanasia suggests an acception
of the concept of a heirarchy of how
meaningful you are in life making ill or
disabled people worth less than normal
people
- May not be in a person's best interests
and they may be going through a short
state of depression
- There are cases where people
have survived terminal illness
- Euthanasia opens a huge gap in
the law where you have to draw a
line between murder and
euthanasia
- Euthanasia gives
doctors too much power
- All life is sacred and the sanctity of life
should not be disturbed or shortend
- For
- We should have
the ability to
control our lives
- We have a right to self
determination
- Once a person feels they do not see
the dignity or beauty in life anymore
what is there to live for that makes it
worth it
- Some illnesses such as
cancer cause imense pain
that can sometimes not be
suppressed by medications
- Terminal illnesses can lead to
depression due to the fact you
rely on others for survival
- If a person feels they are
in too much mental or
physical pain to carry on
living, who are we to stop
them?
- If a person feels their condition will
not improve and this can be
confirmed by a doctor then why
should we keep them alive only to
let them suffer
- We should have
the ability to
control our lives
- Against
- Side questions
- how and who should decide who
we let die and who we keep alive
- How do we compare physical
disability and mental disability or a
terminal illness
- Who should we be to decide if the
law is passed if we have never felt
the need or want to be euthanised
- What restrictions would
be have to put on a
legalised euthanasia?
- when does a physical barrier
become harder or worse than a
mental barrier and vise versa
- How do we class different disabilities
as more important eg Cancer vs a
natural born disability
- how and who should decide who
we let die and who we keep alive
