Section A – Investigation and Research1. Define euthanasia: a) Euthanasia refers to the painless and deliberate killing of a person who is suffering from an incurable and painful illness or who is in a permanent coma. There are two types of euthanasia, compulsory and voluntary. Compulsory euthanasia refers to when other people decide when a person's life will end. Voluntary euthanasia occurs when the individual decides for themselves when to die. Describe the reasons for and against euthanasiab) Euthanasia is viewed by society in both positive and negative ways. Arguments in favor of euthanasia include that patients have the right to choose when they believe they are ready to die. It also gives them the right to “die with dignity” rather than forcing them to live their lives suffering from a painful illness. He also introduced the idea that euthanasia cannot be exploited, as it will be protected and controlled by government legislations. Arguments against euthanasia include that in place of euthanasia, there are alternative treatments such as hospice and palliative care. It also suggests that to remove or minimize symptoms it is not necessary to kill the patient and that, with today's technological and medical advances, almost all pain can be relieved. There is also the danger and risk that by giving doctors the power to decide whether the patient's life is not worth living, it could lead them from voluntary to involuntary euthanasia. Likewise, the idea that patients have the right to die imposes on the doctor the duty to kill, thus restricting the independence of his decision.2.

If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple. » The Bible shows that regardless of their age, gender, ethnic origin, Christians are considered children of God and therefore all have the same value, Ecclesiastes 7:17 “Do not be too wicked. , don't be stupid either. Why should you die before your time? Therefore, the majority of Christians oppose the idea of ​​euthanasia solely based on their biblically derived morals and ethics..
