Euthanasia means good death or dying. Today, more strictly, means "mercy killings, or cause the death of another by devotion to their suffering or according to their desire to die for whatever reason. Its meaning is manipulated to disguise the fact that the central euthanasia, a human being kills another, consciously and deliberately, arguing that human life is worth living only in certain conditions of completion, above the reality, which is, however, that Life is a superior good and a right inalienable and unavailable.
To try to justify its legalization are not valid arguments:
- The right to a dignified death, expressly desired by those who are suffering atrocious.
- The right of everyone to have their own lives, exercising their freedom and individual autonomy.
- The need to regulate a situation that actually exists, to the scandal of its persistence in hiding.
- The progress represented by removing the lives of mentally deficient deep or terminally ill, as they try to lives that can not properly be called human.
- The manifestation of social solidarity that means eliminating meaningless lives, which constitute a heavy burden for families and for society itself. There
in Spain the trend of "legal understanding" towards the practice of Euthanasia, which could end in a short period, with total impunity, as has happened with abortion, decriminalization lizado and legalized the practice to the point of constitur a lucrative business supported and subsidized by certain institutions.
The Catholic Church strongly affirms that human life is sacred because from its inception is the result of the creative action of God. For Therefore, God alone is Lord of life from its beginning until its end.
Whatever the motives and means, direct euthanasia consists in putting an end to the lives of handicapped, sick or moribundas.Es morally unacceptable, since an action or omission which of itself or by intention, causes death to eliminate suffering constitutes a murder gravely contrary to the dignity of the individual.
Article 409 of the Penal Code provides that the furnishing assistance or induces another person to commit suicide, shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment because our Penal Code, euthanasia is murder, and if is done at the request of the victim, is the "murder-suicide" (induction or assisted suicide). Nobody is entitled to terminate life, even his own, and even the Constitutional Tibunal a right to end life or self.
Today we experience quite often in history, a culture that vigorously defends the dignity and is committed to defending human rights, but at the time, and incongruously, given tolerance and even support for practices such as abortion or euthanasia, as opposed to the inalienable rights of the individual.
euthanasia not applying treatment necessary to relieve the pain, but shorten the life expectancy of the patient, unwanted side effect, or may be called euthanasia death the result of negligence or accident.
means "Distanasia", the opposite of euthanasia, and is delaying the arrival of death as much as possible, by all means provided or not, although there is no hope of cure and inflict even if it means dying some additional suffering. Also called "cruelty" and "therapeutic cruelty."
"Orthothanasia" is the correct action to death by those who serve the suffering an incurable disease in terminal phase. This term means "good death."
how painful rejection, of what causes suffering, it is natural to man. and therefore fair and non
censurable.Sin But trying to escape the pain at all costs and all costs, is an attitude that deprives a person dying of the humanizing effect that can have the same pain.
A dignified death is born of greatness of mind of who faces it. When a patient requests it gets killed, you are actually asking you almost always alleviate the suffering both physical and moral. The pain and palliative medicine on the one hand, and moral comfort, companionship, the warmth and spiritual aid on the other, are means to elevate the dignity of death, and sick leave to request that ended his life.
Euthanasia is not a form of medicine, but of murder, and the raison d'être of medicine, doctors and medical personnel, is the healing of the sick, alleviating their pain and help them cope with the trance Supreme death when cure is not possible, not to kill (Hippocratic oath), if only by virtue of an alleged compassion. In a society with legalized euthanasia, as it wants to impose in Spain, the elderly, the seriously ill or disabled, have a very justified fear that the professionals' turn, "would not aid for his life, but the executors of his death.
