but the nurses wheeling him into the surgical theatre under the guise of negligence gave him mercy killing. My family went indignant and we stopped the emergency unit of that hospital from functioning on that very day.

Lordave:
You gotta be kidding me!

You are the first person I'm hearing such a thing from. Why do you wish so?

Flygeriansteve:
I'm genuinely shocked that an intelligent issue like this is being diskcussed on nairaland.

Akin1212:


Nice quota, but don't you think voluntary euthanasia is more or less suicide/assisted suicide? I don't think suicide is a good way to go. Let death come naturally, in fact I am beginning to move towards the scrapping of euthanasia no matter which category. No matter how long a person has been ill, let death have the final say. We as humans do not possess the right to decide who dies or who doesn't.

Afam4eva:
If someone has even 0.5% of surviving, then the person should be given a chance and nobody has the right to decide who lives or who dies except the dying person explicitly requests for Euthanasia.

BUTCHCASSIDY:


Believe by then Im done with this earth
Achieved it all
What's there to live for
What can I honestly enjoy at that age
Meen its time to sign off

bovamm:







The mods made a mistake.

Euthanasia shouldn't be legalized in a country like Nigeria. Patients would be killed anyhow even if they have a chance at survival

chillybrandy:
In my opinion it shouldn't be legalised. Everyone has the right to life even in critical conditions. Besides that miracle still happens.

Akin1212:

In medicine, I don't think there is anything such as 'miracle'. Sometimes it happens right there before their eyes and they try to find another explanation to it. But the fact is miracle happens, but no one can tell when it will happen, so since it doesn't depend on a constant they don't really expect it in medicine except there is a sign. My mother still claims my uncle was killed by the nurses, you know. His brain's right hemisphere was already dead, but still they didn't have the right to remove his breathing aid. A lot of people really need to know about euthanasia. I am actually waiving on this issue, I don't know where to stand. Thanks for your opinion though.

0gbeni:
Voluntary euthanasia can be legalized, frees greviously injured /terminally ill patients from a lot of pain and stress and also helps the financial situation of the family that the patient leaves , what's the point of paying 40,000/day in an ICU if the patient is already brain dead and will most likely never wake up again?

Sorry about your uncle @op but i don't think the nurses did euthanasia, he must have died enroute the theatre, most non-medical people dont understand how a lot of things work ( esp in our health system here) and they wrongly accuse health workers, pls Google things at the minimum before concluding

7footre:
We over argued this with our philosophy lecturer in year one and didn't come to a conclusive end! I'm a protagonist to mercy killing

Ymodulus:
And how many people have been healed by miracles?

Akin1212:

Actually that part was not a mere conclusion, it was a form of non voluntary euthanasia. They didn't care about our presence, my mum was accompanying them when they acted. They did as if the breathing aid was faulty and they removed and kept checking it until my uncle suffocated and died. Even if euthanasia would be Legalized, it has to be dependent on many factors. Non voluntary and Involuntary euthanasia should not be allowed, to an extent I can agree with voluntary euthanasia

waice6571:


I am living witness to the goodness Of God.

Ymodulus:


Which God?

Your God? If your God then he his a very wicked one as he sent me down, to suffer humiliation.

Seizures and collapse in public that brought shame to me. Regrets to point of dieing.

If there is a God, he is definitely not a good God.

God committed genocide and killed millions in the bible. Yet you tell me he his good?.

He should be tried for genocide. I will personally put otapiapia in his food , that's if he exist
