Why euthanasia, assisted suicide, is murder in disguise
A dying patient is being asked by his doctor everyday to check whether he can endure the pains or not and offered assistance to terminate his life if he cannot take the pains any more. One day, the patient finally tells the doctor that he cannot take the pains any more. Several days later, a licensed euthanasia specialists give him euthanasia with the consent of all his relatives. The patient dies fulfilling "his own" wish. His bed is finally vacated. A new dying patient comes in.
A man suffering from constant depression is standing on the roof of a tall building, shouting I want to die but I'm afraid of jumping off, can someone please kindly push me? His psychiatrist arrives, hands him an euthanasia agreement and pushes him off the building. (this is a purely hypothetical case. but it is logically no different from the first case)
A homeless old man is dying in a street corner holding a note saying please let him die right there. A stranger passing by reads his note, checks his breath and calls 911. The homeless man is saved against his wish.
Why we allow the first two patients to die by their "own" wishes, but at the same time we do save many innocent strangers against their own wishes? Which one is correct?
The wish to die should be honored or not? No. One can commit suicide alone by himself. But as soon as the society discovers, the society try to save him, always, no questions asked!
The wish to die should be assisted or not? If you agree with me to the question above, the answer is obvious here.
Civilized society try to save lives as much as possible. Saving everyone's life to the very last minute is Utopia, which we are moving towards very slowly. In the current dis-Utopia, our society still choose to terminate people's lives by unnatural causes. In the meantime, we should understand that euthanasia is against logic, thus against life, is murder in disguise.
To be logically consistently is pro-life , saving life(against euthanasia) by all means, against death by all means,
Only the logically inconsistently, the logically wrong is pro-choice, pro euthanasia, pro death, considering death as an option either doing it alone or seeking help.
A logically consistent man should never consider death as an option.
( A soldier under enemy torture may decide to commit suicide. In such case, he is killed by enemy indirectly. He is more a victim of a hostile enemy than an inconsistent man).
This is not a political problem. This is a pure logical problem.
All human thinking is logical.
