Death: Talent or Human Rights

Dahlia 2022-01-15 08:01:34

Perhaps as the demonstrators in the film said: life is god's choice. But, maybe, as human beings, human beings with free will, we can choose our own death.
I am not a believer, so I don’t talk about religion, don’t say that religion does not allow euthanasia, just like suicide is not allowed. Because what I understand is euthanasia and suicide are completely different things, or it can be said that euthanasia is a kind of suicide that does not involve moral issues, which is different from suicide in the ordinary sense.
Okay, so let's discuss a fundamental question: Does a person have the right to die?
The right to survive is the most basic right of mankind. In any case, mankind can choose to live and live. So, does this right of existence stem from human instinct or from human free will? In other words, this right of survival is inherent, or a choice of human beings regarding their own destiny. Well, I have to say, this question, my answer tends to the latter.
Euthanasia was accused of "assisted suicide" or even "murder." Well, let’s talk about the law, the law, the law, the most reasonable absurd rule so far, which is made by people, enforced by people, and at the same time higher than anyone else, becomes the supreme existence, and then controls people. the behavior of. I have to admit that I don't understand the law. However, if another person suffers from human suffering, and then asks a doctor to help him get out, this doctor helped him and assisted him in his death, then, do you see the ugliness in this incident? Law, what is the significance of the existence of law? I guess it may be to make the world more orderly and more reasonable. However, for the murder charge of euthanasia, we say, is this reasonable?
The law may be to seek a universal law of existence, and then use it to restrain everyone. Don’t talk about religion. In the real world, the law has become our God. Yes, the law is God. And the real God, where do we say he is? In your heart, yes, in your heart, in a sense, God is also illegal, do you know what I mean? Then, why can’t we legislate for euthanasia? It involves ethical issues. Oh, and, moreover, it’s human life, how precious and cherished. If we legislate for euthanasia, then bad guys will use the law to do some bad things and do some things. Bad things, doing things that deprive others of their lives, good, good, we have to admit that if euthanasia is legalized, then maybe someone will forge medical records, forge evidence, and then kill people who don’t need euthanasia. people. Well, well, these problems exist.
I admit, I am also confused. Because this problem is difficult to make a complete prediction before it occurs, that is to say, legislators may be afraid of the kind of unpredictable changes, the so-called butterfly effect. A small change. However, the legitimacy of this question depends on whether the perpetrator is a good person, good people do good things, bad people do bad things, good people, of course, help patients out of the sea of ​​suffering, but bad people may be murder. The hardest thing to do here is to prove that you are a good person. Even if you have been a good citizen who has been doing your duty and abiding by the law for a lifetime, you still cannot prove that you are a good person at the next moment when you are helping others to euthanize. Who knows that you are not a good person. To kill for some unknown purpose, who knows if you are an executioner, a pervert, a murder addiction addict. Maybe only you know it, but you can't prove it, yes, you can't prove it yourself.
What kind of talent needs euthanasia? Painful, oh, no, it’s just not enough. It’s not enough if you want to live. In short, living has become a burden and torture. This kind of patient has the right to be euthanized. However, who can prove it? Who can prove that these patients are suffering from no more pain and are unbearable? Who can prove? The patient himself, the patient's own proof does not constitute a reason for others to think that he is suffering, well, I am confused again.
There must be such a group of people, there must be, maybe it is boring, maybe it is conscience, to oppose this kind of humane behavior. Okay, let me talk about humanity now, leaving aside the law, because the law is not clear. Well, some people are beginning to be unable to sit still, euthanasia, this is to let me die, this is a disregard for life, therefore, to oppose, to oppose, people have to live, and people have to choose to survive. What kind of logic is this kind of logic above, although, even if it is right, I have to say, this is bastard logic. You have to live and you have to choose to survive, but you are not equal to human beings. Don't raise yourself so high. Also, whether the doctor assisted others in suicide, murdered others, or helped others out of suffering, it does not prove that the doctor would use the same method on you, because those people are different from your choices, you choose If you are alive, you are alive. At the same time, don't point fingers at those who choose to die, because you don't know anything, you don't understand anything, so why do you?
Since this question involves assisted suicide, well, let's talk about suicide. Suicide, what is the situation, the end of your life, how, how, is not feeling that you have become your own God, even if you have no choice, you can still choose to die. Cool, right? Do you feel cool? Do you feel free will? If you feel free will, then you are a normal person, but if you commit suicide inexplicably because of this, then I can only say that you have made a choice, but this choice may not be very wise. We always like to evaluate others, other people’s choices, and what others have done. I can’t understand it, I agree with it, I’m excited, what happened to me, but didn’t think about other people and why they made such choices. What happened to others? If I were someone else, what would happen to me. At this time, we need a word to reconsider, this word is "put yourself in place".
Stop discussing responsibility, responsibility, to society, to yourself, and to parents. Let’s take a look at the crux of the problem. If you don’t want others to make mistakes, what you need is not to continue to criticize, criticize, strike, and strike after others make mistakes. What you need is to let others see after others make mistakes. On the right path, see a better future. If I tell you you are wrong, but don't tell you why you are wrong, will you be convinced? Even if I tell you why you are wrong, but do not tell you the right way, whether you will still make a mistake. None of this is known. Okay, let’s take a look. Someone committed suicide. Suppose. It’s just a hypothesis. Although this hypothesis happens every day, maybe a few irresponsible people who can't bear the torture chose to die while I was typing. Okay. , We don’t think about it, we just think about it, someone committed suicide, yes, they have died, life has become a corpse. We assume that he is a youth, a young man. Okay, what is your first reaction, what is it, tell me, let me play this role myself, my first reaction, let me think about it, I think about it slowly, my first reaction: " This person is not filial. Once you die, your parents will be tortured." The reaction is the same, I just say what I think, next, next, next, the curiosity in your body starts to haunt you, you start Concern: "Why did he commit suicide?" You start to speculate: feelings, family, social pressure, work, etc., and gradually complete your guesses, and at the same time start communicating with others, and finally come to the conclusion that everyone is very convinced Reason. But, in fact, you made a mistake. You are not the person involved. You will never know why he committed suicide. Even if he left your suicide note, you have no idea about his death because you are an outsider. So since you don't know, why do you still evaluate others, sometimes it is malicious, and most of the time.
A person commits suicide. Why did he commit suicide? Why, is it to find God and ideals? If he thinks death is better and comes from the heart, then this suicide is pure suicide. However, if he committed suicide because of gossip, social pressure, poor food, and disillusionment, then we say that this is not a suicide, but a carefully planned murder of this tiny human individual by the world. Yes, murder. If survival is human instinct, then there may be only one reason why people choose to commit suicide, and that is being forced and helpless, but if this instinct is strong enough, perhaps, persecution is useless, then we have to say, survival, death, both It's humanity's own choice.
Let us return to religion. The greatness of religion is that it summarizes the universal human nature, and raises all the goodness to the height of God, and inspires mankind to continue to pursue goodness, endure pain, seek light, and find comfort. However, I don’t know what true religion is anymore, because religion is established and executed by people. Think about the darkest years in medieval Europe. Think about Galileo, Copernicus, Bruno. Maybe you know religion. What is it? There is nothing wrong with religion itself. The problem lies with human beings. Humans have formulated religions, used them, and then became a tool of the minority and became the shackles of the majority. The power that religion gives to people has become an illusion, based on the perception of the other side of the world. The beautiful fantasy of religion, religion abstracts an infinitely great God, this God to guide people to the light, and at the same time to punish those who go to the dark. He is the supreme being. However, if there is such a supreme existence, I think he will not care about light and darkness. There is no difference between ugliness and beauty in his heart, because it is supreme, it is a rule, and he is above the world. Beauty, ugliness, good and evil are really human evaluations of their own world, and sometimes this evaluation is often only directed at individuals, which is very superficial and one-sided. Since God is like this, then why should he eliminate evil and promote good? Because good and evil exist at the same time, maybe it can promote the progress of the world and the world will be balanced, or if it is supreme, then whether the world exists or not, it should be no Concerned, because for it, all this doesn't matter. Therefore, eliminating evil and promoting good may only be part of human nature, and it is only a kind of comfort for human beings. Human beings have created religion, and at the same time they have used religion as their own spiritual slow-release agent. God doesn't care about life and death. As a human being, what qualifications do you have to act as a spokesperson for God, saying that God chooses to let mankind survive? If God wants mankind to survive, then why bother to create the world after death.
These issues will never be discussed clearly, because the basic starting point is different. Just like idealism and materialism, no one can convince each other, no one.
Having said so much is useless, maybe I have to talk about the movie itself. This movie is a great movie. The reason is that it does not contain the director’s personal emotions. It is a fair movie, and it is thought-provoking and thought-provoking. At least I think so, so I Think it is a good movie. Of course, maybe the protagonist is such a doctor. To some extent, it is also a hint of the director, implying the director’s own point of view, but the movie must have a theme. We see that this movie is more realistic and has been stating the facts. , Did not let us see the hope of disillusionment, nor did it let us see the inexplicable despair. It's just stating the facts, so I like it very much.
Thinking is all in me. Although it has no comment, it makes me think. This is what makes me most valuable about this movie.
Putting aside the subject, let's talk about the details. First of all, I am a diehard fan of Al Pacino. Yes, the acting is superb. For someone I have never met before, his interpretation is very real and perfect. I pay my respects to him again. Next, the protagonist in the play, the doctor, let’s take a look at the doctor in reality:

"The 82-year-old former American pathologist Jack Kowokian has a nickname: "Doctor Death". Because of him Has helped 130 dying patients commit suicide. The death rights

protector recently said that he was also very afraid of death. It is reported that in 1999, Dr. Kovokien was accused of second-degree murder and was imprisoned for 8 years. Half. His contemplation and meditation on life, death, the future were made into a 90-minute movie. The movie also includes interviews with his family, colleagues and inmates.

In an interview with the media, he said: “I live now. It’s very comfortable, so I’m as afraid of death as everyone else. I think it would be more appropriate for everyone to call me a "survival doctor". People are taught from an early age that life is a beautiful gift. But if you are healthy and have no worries about food and clothing, and then ask the suffering people of Sudan and Afghanistan the same question, they will not give the same answer. The world's attitude towards euthanasia and assisted suicide is very hypocritical. "

Kowokian said that he has never regretted helping the patient exercise his right to death, and even if he goes to jail, he will not change his mind."

His words are deep, talking about hypocrisy.
Movies are a form of artistic expression, so it is inevitable to describe some emotional stories, such as the sudden death of Dr. Kowerki’s sister, he also euthanized his like-minded friends, he tried to defend himself in court, and Rejecting a lawyer, he doesn't care about going to jail, as long as he defends the truth in his heart. I have to say that these details and stories make this character and the whole real event more full. At the same time, it also made us realize that the death doctor is also afraid of death, and the death doctor will also feel helpless, hopeless, and painful in the face of the death of his relatives. In the film, when the doctor told others his own inner feelings about the death of his mother, he finally used the word "lost", lost, lost, I feel lost. I have to say that this word deeply shocked me, the meaning of this word is so rich, and at the same time it expresses the pain of losing loved ones so vividly.
Of course, the last sentence of the judge is also very thought-provoking. The law does not allow anyone to be above the law for any reason. Therefore, our doctor protagonist was eventually convicted, guilty.
Many countries are still discussing euthanasia. Finally, let’s take a look at which countries have legalized euthanasia: the
Netherlands was the first country to legalize euthanasia, followed by Japan, Switzerland and other countries and some states in the United States. The euthanasia bill was also passed. The first international conference on euthanasia was held in Tokyo, Japan in 1976. As the issue of euthanasia is relatively complex, involving many aspects such as morality, ethics, law, medicine, etc., my country has not yet enacted legislation for it.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that each state administers medical actions, including assisted suicide. In November 2008, nearly 60% of voters in Washington State voted to pass Motion No. 1000, becoming the second state after Oregon where voters voted to allow euthanasia.

For this issue, we still need a long time to think and discuss, but I am willing to believe that euthanasia will exist as a reasonable and beautiful thing in the future.

You Don't Know Jack quotes

  • Jack Kevorkian: It's emotionalism. You know, when heart transplants first started... there was the same prevalent feeling, I mean, even among doctors... that it was wrong, it was contrary to God's will, contrary to nature. Isn't it ghoulish to rip a person's chest open and take out a heart? Or a bypass operation? Ether is the same thing. You have ether, been around for centuries, it wasn't used. Not till 1846. It was discovered in 1543... and before that, everybody was being operated on while they were awake. Surgeons were cutting them open while they were awake. Did you know that, Geoff?

    Geoffery Fieger: No.

    Jack Kevorkian: On, yes. And you know why it was banned? Because of religious dogma. Because of the foolish notion... that there's a God Almighty who wills us to suffer.
