Should Euthanasia be legalized?
As to why God retracted his decision of life between 500 to 700 years granted to Abraham & his descendants; reducing human mortality to a maximum of a mere century; is not a question that can be debated or protested upon. It was an honor; in the biblical times when ones duty to replenish the earth is diligently obeyed and deemed completed; to accept humbly when the time has come for the day is done. With merely one hundred years to live now; nobody is ever ready to die but yet nobody wishes to suffer to survive either.
Medical academics have sinful hands in going against the will of God. Attempting to cure the incurable, extending life support and creating false hopes with half baked ideas that yield remote success are acts of the devil in the white coat disguise. Unscrupulous groups and academics are exploiting the world beneath the integrity of the ‘White Coat’, churning peoples’ hopes into a business model. Claims of breakthroughs have depleted enormous funds in the name of research. Touching base first, secures royalty of intellectual protection mainly to support the vanity of lavish lifestyle common to the profession.
Debating Euthanasia surely triggers the mental flip-flop; between the emotional state of the mind and the filtered conscious rationale; that can never find its way out of the fog. Support for Euthanasia becomes a social stigma; a stand if taken will definitely stain the integrity of a person. Embracing or even worst, having to shoulder the weight of legislating Euthanasia is deemed widely as heartless or back-fired as playing God.
Wealthy people, Royals, prominent head of states have died of incurable diseases despite exhausting unbelievable hefty amounts of money available to them. The inequity of wealth and influence is so wide between the rich and the average; let alone the poor; that the ordinary man-in-the-street simply does not have the luxury to deal with terminal illness in the face. To hold on to the very last straws of hope is to literally take the entire family; young and old into burial.
Hospice and palliative care services has found little or no help; no public funding to support the easing of the transition. As much as they are willed to their noble cause; more than a handful has since wound up in the last two years. Contradicting to the issue, foundations that are supposedly wired to the mission to save life have seen many pampering their lavish habits helping themselves with public funding. What used to be the light at the end of the tunnel became subjects of audits due to the greed of man.
As the Serpent has tempted the origin of mankind to eat from the Tree of Knowledge; it has now succeeded in tempting man once again to eat from the Tree of Life. Euthanasia; the slithery term has not only become the serpent’s shield but has intertwined man so tightly to an inescapable struggle.
