Answer:
6 Arguments Against Assisted Dying & Why They're Wrong
Good Palliative Care Avoids the Need for Assisted Dying.
Doctors do not want to be held liable or wish to do it.
Death and natural dying is an important & fundamental experience for individuals and their families.
LEGALISING ASSISTED DYING IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE AND LAWS WILL EXPAND/CHANGE TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO ARE NEITHER INCURABLE NOR AT END STAGE
VULNERABLE GROUPS WILL BE AT RISK FROM ABUSE OF THE LAW (E.G. THOSE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS, THE ELDERLY)
WE WILL MAKE MISTAKES ABOUT WHETHER A PERSON IS TERMINALLY ILL.
Explanation:
People on both sides of the euthanasia debate care about suffering people and want to prevent suffering.
The debate is NOT about whether a person should be allowed to end their own life. It’s already legal to end one’s own life.
The debate IS about whether it should be legal for someone else to be involved in ending a person’s life.
This issue is controversial because there are public safety risks when people are allowed to end the lives of others and when the State is involved in authorising it. This is a social justice issue – protecting vulnerable people from pressure and abuse.
