In this discussion we are talking about euthanasia, this is killing someone who wishes to die but cannot perform the act themselves, or they can but feel that committing suicide would take away the dignity of dying in peace. Euthanasia is mainly debated due to people not agreeing about how someone can judge someone else’s quality of life. This is because your personal definition of quality of life could be the ability to get up and go to work every morning or being able to do what you please, but for someone who cannot walk very well it maybe simply seeing relatives and being in contact with other people.

Some people would argue that people in a vegitive state have no quality of life and so euthanasia is acceptable here because they are only aliv

e because of a life support machine and they do not know what goes on around them, they are just there. The problem with people in this state is we do not know if they wish to die or not because they are disabled and cannot give a sign either way.

I believe that ii is ok to take someone’s life who has no will to live and has no quality of life but the problem with this is as it is with most moral debates, where to draw the line between the to extremes of healthy life and no quality of life. I also believe it is ok because Christians teach that you should treat others as you would like to be treated yourself and if this is the case then I would euthanasia is ok, because I would not want to live if I could not do what I wanted and if I did not know what was going on.

This is when living wills come into use,
