Alternative treatments are available, such as palliative care and hospices. We do not have to kill the patient to kill the symptoms. Nearly all pain can be relieved. There is no right to be killed and there are real dangers of slippery slopes. Opening the doors to voluntary euthanasia could lead to non-voluntary and involuntary euthanasia, by giving doctors the power to decide when a patients life is not worth living. In the Netherlands in 1990 around 1,000 patients were killed without their request We could never truly control it. Reports from the Netherlands, where euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are legal, reveal that doctors do not always report it. The assumption that patients should have a right to die would impose on doctors a duty to kill, thus restricting the autonomy of the doctor. Also, a right to die for some people might well become a duty to die by others, particularly those who are vulnerable or dependent upon others.
Humanitarians and the religious amongst them believe that mercy killing or euthanasia is morally wrong. They believe that only God has the right to end life because only he was responsible for the same. They also argue that euthanasia is as good as homicide or murder that simply cannot be justified under the banner of namesake arguments Euthanasia can lead to a steep decline in the quality of medical care administered to patients. Doctors and medical professionals will take it easy on themselves and may do little or zilch to actually rescue patients from the venomous jaws of a serious illness. Euthanasia is power, the power to end the life of another. One of the biggest arguments against euthanasia is that this power can be easily manipulated to fulfill the ulterior motives of conniving individuals who always manage to find a place for themselves in society. After all, there really is no mercy in killing! A hospital and doctors exist to save the lives of people suffering from illnesses, not end it. Advanced medical technology and knowledgeable medical professionals have made credible breakthroughs in the battles against illnesses and diseases.
Against the will of God Religious people don't argue that we can't kill ourselves, or get others to do it. They know that we can do it because God has given us free will. Their argument is that it would be wrong for us to do so. They believe that every human being is the creation of God, and that this imposes certain limits on us. Our lives are not only our lives for us to do with as we see fit. To kill oneself, or to get someone else to do it for us, is to deny God, and to deny God's rights over our lives and his right to choose the length of our lives and the way our lives end.
Many religions think that euthanasia is immoral. Some religions regard it as a type of murder. The official Roman Catholic Church is against euthanasia and says it is a crime. Protestants, on the other side, take a more liberalview. Hindus think that, even though helping a person end a painful life may be good, it interferes with the cycle of death and rebirth. In Islam all forms of euthanasia are forbidden. In Japan more than half of all Shintoists think that you should be allowed to help a person die if they ask for it.
