2nd case where doctor administers a dose of Morphine it is known will cause death via respiratory failure do not classified as Euthnasia since killing is not direct Doctor's intention is to relieve the pain and not to kill. Even though doctor knows the action will kill the patient.
3rd case person is not greatly ill but suffering greatly from pain that can't be relieved is not euthanasia. This definition seems ill-advised in extreme where terminally, ill patient is allowed to die indicates indirect killing of a terminally ill person to die is morally unproblematic & are morally permissible but direct killing of a terminally ill is morally
wrong.
Arguments
Voluntary active euthanasia & assisted suicide are not morally
wrong.
1. If person is suffering considerable pain due to incurable illness & death is in their own interest than committing suicide is also in person's own interest.
Assisted suicide & voluntary euthanasia are never morally permissible. If a person is suffering considerable pain due to an incurable illness then person's death be in his interest than committing suicide is also in persons own interest. Person commits suicide when he is frustrated. Assisted suicide & voluntary euthanasia are never morally permissible. If a person is suffering considerable pain due to an incurable illness then person's death be in his interest than committing suicide is also in his own interest catholic church holds suicide, masturbation, premarital sex activity homosexual sex & use of contraceptive within marriage are moral sins.
Committing suicide also satisfy condition, it neither violates anyone elses right nor wrongs to anyone or it does not make the world a worse place ending life will not only end one's own suffering but also end the emotional suffering experienced by those who love one, so ending life will make the world a better place not a worse one.
What do we do when rights to life conflict as in situations where not everyone's life can be sustained due to scarcity of medical resources? Those who demand the right to die are opposed to that the right to life is too precious to be compromised scarce medical resources also involve the right to life since when not all can be saved. If one can be killed against one's will or if one can be forced to stay alive against one's will or if one an be forced to stay alive against one's will then autonomy does not amount to much Is not the right to die in some sense unnatural? Should people allow to decide to end their lives whenever they wish? Should rest of us should assist in their decision? Who should be saved?
