Euthanasia; Life or Death

Euthanasia; life or death.

Not too long ago my grandmother named Carmen, an old women that had a lot of health problems was hospitalized for nine month apparently she does not want to continue suffering but her life is being prolonged by being connected to a medical equipment or taking medicine to lessen the symptoms however, my family was indecisive and were constantly arguing trying to make a right decision for the well being of my grandma. One day I was in the food court visiting my grandmother when my cousin came out from her room and screamed that she had died, then doctors communicate us the cause of her death that she had disconnected herself from medical equipment in a way that no one would notice, dying instantly. This has been a hard decision for my family because on our hands was encounter the life of another human being. Euthanasia it a very difficult topic to talk about and it is controversial when it comes to someone that is close to you and how could anyone pick a side in this problem?. It is easy to say that we love that person but in reality we don't know what that person is feeling in that critical moment. Considering that Euthanasia is a difficult decision there are different points of views; the ones that are in favor and the ones that are against and how it contributes to the direct relationship between human right and Euthanasia.

Before I could start and focus on the explanation of euthanasia , I first did I little research on the web site Wikipedia about euthanasia, and learn more about who affects, types of euthanasia , what is euthanasia. Euthanasia refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering. There is different types of euthanasia, can be animal, child , voluntary, non-voluntary, involuntary.

* The animal Euthanasia is when an animal is very ill and can not be treated then, the vet decides that the animal should be given an intravenous injection usually using a high dose of pentobacial or sodium thiopental to put the animal "lay down","put down","put to sleep","destroyed", or "put out of its/his.her misery" as is referred in domesticated animals.

* Child euthanasia which is also know as non-voluntary euthanasia that happens to born babies with birth defects like: hydrocephalus which is when a baby has water in the brain making an enlargement to the head causing to the baby pressure inside of skull and besides it causes mental disability, combustions, tunnel visions.

* Involuntary euthanasia happens when this is done on a person that has not given approval but involuntarily is murder. Usually doctors when there is war have to follow certain ethic procedures that are against to their will. We can see this type of procedure by this example: "A soldier has their stomach blown open by a shell burst. There are in great pain and screaming in agony. They beg the army doctor to save their life. The doctor knows that they will die in ten minutes whatever happens.As he has no painkilling drugs with him he decides to spare the soldier further pain and shoots them dead"

Since Euthanasia is a complicated option of death and life it is compared to abortion, "Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty,but not ...with regard to abortion and euthanasia" Joseph Ratzinger.

Some people believe that Euthanasia is the right for a person to die there are pros and con.According to American Civil Liberties; a state's categorical
