A Critique of Neil Campbell's Problem with
Voluntary Euthanasia Dr. Neil Campbell, author of
"A Problem for the Idea of Voluntary Euthanasia, "
questions whether there can be a such thing as
voluntary euthanasia. Euthanasia, or
physician-assisted suicide, is the intentional
termination of life by another at the explicit
request of the person who dies. Dr. Campbell's

enough that the decision to die ...

Euthanasia Is Morally Pain And Suffering
1,511 words
I believe that the law should be changed to allow
active euthanasia because it is a persons freedom
to determine their time of death if given the
opportunity. This paper will discuss what it is
like to lose a person through a painful death and
how the good consequences of legalizing active
euthanasia outweigh the bad consequences. It will
further examine the moral permissibility and the
question of adopting social policy that sanctions
active euthanasia. Watching a person suffer from a
terminal,...

In America today many arguments are centered on
the right to choose: the right for women to have
an abortion, the right for gays to be allowed to
raise children or be legally married, and the
right to physician-assisted suicide. These
arguments all have something to do with the
individual having the right to make this choice or
if society should be able to decide for them, thus
removing this choice. Euthanasia is a choice
everyone should have, but like all rights, it
should not be taken advantag...

The Case for Active Euthanasia As I see it, the
contention of the author is sound and balanced.
She does not advocate outright euthanasia for
everyone who she thinks needs it but in fact makes
limitations such that she will not administer it
to those who are not able to defend themselves
because of certain disabilities, the babies and
even the elderly. Yet, she is agreeable to have it
done on those patients who are still able to
rationalize and think for themselves. Procee's
thesis is logical be...

Good Or Bad Laws Of Physics

Euthanasia is a topic that provokes as much
controversy as capital punishment, primarily
because it is irreversible. The question of
euthanasia being right or wrong is one that most
would prefer left alone. However, recent publicity
on changes to existing laws has ignited
considerable discussion and has forced open the
door to a much wider audience. The issues related
to direct euthanasia have raised many questions in
my mind, to which I am still searching for
answers. I believe it is necessary ...
