Euthanasia: Unnatural Murder


            
             Euthanasia is the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit. When people are extremely sick and have no hope in life, they ask their doctor to kill them. Common methods are by over dose, injections and sometimes leaving the patient with no medicine tell the patient dies. This is a major problem in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Holland. Euthanasia is wrong because it is murder, not natural, and incompatible with the role of the physician.
             Euthanasia is murder and therefore considered immoral. It is wrong and it will become a habit, because people are going to get used to it and it will become a daily base. A popular example is Doctor Jack Kevorkian, a doctor who started euthanasia in 1990. He is now is prison for killing Mr. Youk by an injection. The court announced that " It is still murder, legally," adding that, "Kevorkian's martyrdom - self-imposed as it is -- will speed up the day when voluntary euthanasia for the dying is removed from the legal classification of 'murder' and recognized as a justifiable act of compassion." Since the day Dr. Kevorkian started killing his patients, it became more popular and it was tremendously increasing from 2 % to 70 % in the past 10 years. Another example is Roswell Gilbert, a 23 year old man who killed his wife to end her suffering from Alzheimer's disease and Osteoporosis, a bone disease. He is an example how people are going to get used to it and it will lead people to become murderers. "It was on March 4, 1985 that Gilbert loaded a 9-mm luger, entered the living room and quietly walked behind his wife, Emily, and shot her in the temple, then after feeling her pulse, reloaded the gun and fired again." This is how bad things could get. Killing an innocent person is intrinsically wrong because the person that is killing has the intention to cause death. Consent or motive, even of compassion, does not change the reality of killing a human being.
