A weird topic in our class.

My class was useful. I learned much knowledge from this class. But today's topic in our class was kind of weird. We talked about our choice to life or to die. When people need to live on life support, do you know how that feels? Do you think he or she would like to live like this? I don't think I would like to live in this way. If i need to survive in this condition, i prefer die to live. But if that is not me, whoever is that patient, i don't want him or her to choose die. I always think there might be a chance to come back to life. It sounds weird to talk about this. :-) Whatever...... some people have to face this kind of thing in life. Sometimes there is a miracle happened, people come back to live. However, most of time there isn't. Life is so fragile, i just want to die in peace and quickly if i were dying. :-)

The Right to Die vs. The Right to Life

With unprecedented advances in medical technology, a debate has developed over whether or not a person on life support has the right to die. On one side of the debate are those who say that withdrawing a feeding tube or turning off a respirator gives doctors the power to take another's life. On the other side is the view that fundamentally personal decisions about whether to continue living in an irreversible coma should be left to an individual or a family. This debate over euthanasia, the act of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal even political. As we advance toward the future, these ethics will involve the lives, deaths, and destinies of more and more people.

The debate over euthanasia will only become more complex as medical technology continues to grow and improve. There are those who contend that it will soon become just part of medical treatment, while others believe that its potential power for eliminating people will prevent it from becoming a solution for human suffering. Most people hope neither they nor their family members will ever have to confront this issue.
