The classification of euthanasia is relatively clear. In terms of the measures taken, it can be divided into active euthanasia and passive euthanasia. However, both from an ethical and legal point of view, passive euthanasia is close to natural death, while active euthanasia is close to intentional homicide.
Life and death are big matters, related to the most basic human ethics. And because the Nazis used euthanasia as an excuse to carry out genocide atrocities, people had to be cautious and fearful when discussing euthanasia. This is also the most violent stroke in the film. Pacino, who was over seventy years old, was furious in the courtroom and roared like thunder. He used all his strength to repeat the phrase "how dare you".
It's a punch that hits people's stereotypes hard. This punch is powerful enough to shake people who are lazy and unthinking, but it can't shake people who are insensitive and stubborn. As said in the film, in a sense, the law is a game of words. The ambiguity of each concept and the inaccuracy of language make the judgment infinitely more difficult. Is it possible to cure the current incurable disease with the continuous development of medical technology? What is the concept of extreme suffering, and what is the concept of imminent death?
Ethically, it really belongs to a piece of chicken feathers that is unclear. What euthanasia faces is the deep contradiction of human moral dilemma. It not only contains the fundamental contradiction between life and death, but also involves issues of social justice, medical ethics and a series of traditional values. Starting from the opposite, it is better to have an argument, rather than a thousand horses.
What moved me in the film was the infinite energy contained in the death doctor Jack. The kind of spirit that once the correct goal is identified, it will overcome all difficulties and keep moving forward. He even tried his best to draw the public's attention and discussion on truth issues through the fate of individuals. This kind of spirit is almost pathologically paranoid. Although he was not good at speaking and eventually lost the case, Jack suffered eight and a half years in prison, but when he was released from prison, at the age of 80, he was still running for the cause he identified. This is strategic concentration, infinite loyalty to oneself, and judgment different from mortals.
In the end, man has the right to decide his own life and death. At the end of our lives, we are more empowered to choose a dignified, quick, painless way of dying, which is my basic point. Forget it, stop the moral judgment, stop the moral judgment, stop the moral judgment! Regarding the discussion of life and death, "The Life of David Gore" and "Doctor Death" are both excellent works worth seeing.
