As far as my meager understanding of the issue goes………….it is nothing but a direct intrusion into the realms of the sphere of nature’s influence .the very fact that it is still illegal across the globe, barring a few exception, vindicates my stand.
The implementation of such a practice has 2 major hassles-----the moral and legal ones. I am too immature to do a detailed analysis of its legal implications. But I am sure, there are many learned and shrewd people who can easily capitalize on the loopholes of any such law, if legalized need not venture into the innumerable instances wherein the arms of the constitution are twisted in courts. When living witnesses can turn hostile, can we really trust a corpse to prove that its state is a result of his own wish and not negligence or an intended attempt? Does it not give yet another novel way to tamper with the laws guarding the cases of medical negligence or for that matter suicide cases?
Coming to the moral aspect of the issue, I am sure everyone will unanimously agree that life has been bestowed upon us ---to be lived and not to offend the almighty by saying “no “ to it.
Such a step would be a setback to the medical profession, which the society looks upon with respect and dignity
We would be undermining the importance of the practitioners who look at it not as a profession where their stature is decided by the success rate of his operation,.but for them it’s an effort to repay the patient his life for the trust he has reposed on his abilities.If we remove the very purpose of his endeavours i.e .-----“to save a dying life” ,it’d be a contempt to the science of medicine.
People usually talk of positive attitude and optimism when things are shaping up great for them.But,these things matter the most only when a person is in dire straits and death seems to be a easy way out to escape all the troubles.
What good is such a practice which breed a “defeatist “attitude and mindset in the society? Has our pride ,over the great heroics performed by many disabled and handicapped people, vanished or do we no more trust the might of human perseverance?
Nature has been at the receiving end of many invasions over it many of which had positive impacts on the life of humans.Already ,we have snatched the authority of “origin of life” from the nature, thanks to genetic engineering and cloning, I feel humans are still not prepared to decide the “end of life”.
