presentation on euthanasia

Life comes with a price tag, doesn’t

it???Then why just

let it go??

The scissors and the

cutting of the rose are

mind cutting the beautiful flower, would you not think twice before

ending a life???

IS IT ALL ABOUT FREEING THE MAIMED SOUL??

Proponents of euthanasia

say….

1> right to self determination 2> death is better than to suffer.

3> no difference between passive and active euthanasia.

4> permission won’t lead to unacceptable consequences.

Opponents of euthanasia counter

1> not all deaths are painful.

2> alternatives, like stopping active treatment are available.

3> moral difference between active and passive euthanasia.

4> legalising it will lead to unacceptable consequences.
