Factors Effecting Euthanasia


There are many different factors when it comes down to making that final decision to end or keep someones life. People think about things such as religion, cost, suffrage, family, and government.

Religion- Some people think it is against their religion to end a life. In some religions people believe when your life ends is God's doing. And other religions don't believe anything having to deal with taking a person's life or not.

Cost- When someone is in the hospital and or suffering with a disease or from an accident, it is very costly. It is very expensive to just stay in the hospital alone. When you are on medications and are not getting much better it is going to cost a lot of money to try and keep you alive. People may not have as much money as it would cost to keep a person alive for a long amount of time.
Suffrage- It is very important to think about the patient and how much they are suffering. I don't think it would be fair or considerate to let someone live if they are suffering from a great deal of pain. It would also be very hard to watch someone laying there suffering and struggling in pain. If they no longer have to be in pain why not give them that option.

Family- Family is a big factor when it comes to staying alive or ending your life. In most cases your family of course does not want to see you die. They will often want to keep you alive. Although no one truly knows how you feel inside and what you are going through. Only you do so of course it it always hard to lose someone but if they want their life to be over you should respect them ans help to give them what they want.
Government- Euthanasia is not legal in all states. So no matter what you would like to do when put in the situation, you may not be allowed depending on where you live. The law has put out certain rules and regulations regarding Euthanasia that can't be broken.
