Nowadays, the state norms the privacy and the personal life with a lot of laws, like the abortion and euthanasia law. So, the state tries to take the control of the population with arguments like "defending life" and penalizing practices that "attack against life".
In the case of euthanasia, it is illegal in Chile and it's problematic because the people don't be able to decide about finishing their lifes. I think that could be very difficult be in a situation that requieres take that decision, but it's important too have the option to decide about the own life, having in consideration the conditions that envolves the process.
A clear example about this topic, it's the fact of much people suffer illness that requires time, money, psycological attention, physical and mental wear, etc. For that reason, in very delicate situations, the patient should be able to take the voluntary decision about put ending of it own life with a minimum of conditions that insure a dignified death.
The euthanasia debate it's very complex, but the state have to asegurate that the population have acces to take this kinds of decisions and not threaten and penalice the practice.
I agree with you and I think is very complex this debate because is about the death, but you be really clear with your opinion
ReplyDeleteYeah, it´s a complex debate. But I think that, with a state that wants to control about all the think in our society, the only thing that we keep under our control is life. So, the individual should be able to deciside what wants to do with that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it's a really hard topic to talk about, but decide about your own life and death should be a human right
