Preface
When life is about to come to an end, if you are given a choice, will you do everything possible to continue your life? Or will you choose "euthanasia" to give yourself a decent life? The issue of "euthanasia" has always been highly discussed on the mainland.
Especially when you are suffering from illness, "euthanasia" seems to be a good solution, but although the name has the word "happiness", in fact, the pain of this process is far beyond your imagination.
Cases of euthanasia
Take Fu Daren as an example, he is the gold medal host of Taiwan TV, and he has worked in the job for most of his life, even after he retires at the age of 66, as long as the TV station is in need, he will always appear in front of the public eye, but in 2016, he had physical problems.
At first, it was just a fever, and then various organs in the body also became inflamed, and in the end, even half of the stomach was cut off, and the disease tortured him to the point that he couldn't look like it, and every time the pain came, he would complain to his wife, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply euthanized.
When this concept was first proposed, the family all maintained an opposing attitude, thinking that Fu Daren's body was still saved, but every time Fu Daren fell ill, he would clamoring to go to Switzerland for "euthanasia", and the family had no choice but to find something to share his attention, but fortunately, he liked to paint and had a very young son.
This son was born when he was 60 years old, so he loved his youngest son very much, in addition to the bond between family members, he also liked painting very much, even so, it only allowed him to persist for half a year.
His bile duct had to be implanted with a stent every six months, and in the process he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, even if the doctor optimistically estimated that he only had two years left, and most of the two years had to lie in bed.
This made him even more determined to "euthanasia", but every time he proposed it, his family did not agree, in their values, as long as he was alive, it was better than death, and then the illness tortured him to the point that he could not be seen, and the concept of the family slowly changed, and finally chose to respect his choice.
In 2018, Fu Daren chose to go to Switzerland for euthanasia, why did he choose Switzerland? The main reason is that only Switzerland has such conditions, although there are many other countries where euthanasia is legal, but only Switzerland can provide this service to foreign people.
After Fu Daren and his family spent their last days before the beginning, the doctor brought a bottle of poison, Fu Daren drank it all, and slowly he began to lose consciousness, and finally fell asleep in the arms of his family forever, this process lasted for a short time, and Fu Daren did not show a very painful struggle, but is the truth really so?
Is euthanasia painful?
Although euthanasia is not recognized in the mainland, he exists in another identity and name, that is, lethal injection of death row prisoners, but there is a major difference between lethal injection and euthanasia, the medication for lethal injection is fixed, generally barbiturates plus muscle relaxants, and finally high concentrations of potassium chloride are used to complete the process.
Among them, barbiturates, although the name sounds relatively unfamiliar, are relatively common in hospitals, generally used as anesthetics, after anesthesia is not enough, but also injected with a muscle relaxant, this function is mainly to prevent muscle twitching and violent struggle in the middle.
At the same time, it can also paralyze breathing and cause failure, even if potassium chloride is not injected, the injected person will die, but the time will be a little longer, and finally in order to shorten this time, it is the turn of high-concentration potassium chloride to appear, and a needle will take effect instantly, and the whole process will take more than 1 minute.
The concept of euthanasia is completely different, even if you are abroad, you can not be euthanized casually, first of all, you must meet the following conditions, first, you must be at least 18 years old, you must be independent enough to decide your life, and secondly, you must be terminally ill and only have 3~6 months left.
Euthanasia is not to support "suicide" If there is no restriction in the second article, then I really dare not think about how many healthy people can't think about it for a while and choose euthanasia, these two articles alone are not enough, but also have a special psychologist to conduct a special review and evaluation of you, thinking that your situation is true, and it is definitely your own decision, without any interference from external factors.
At this point, you have met all the conditions for euthanasia, in addition to these, there is a hidden condition, that is, "charging" seems to be a simple process, and the charge is generally about 60~700,000, many people have calmed down directly after seeing this price, isn't it the last few months, and it is not that it can't be topped.
Then there is the process, the doctor will accurately calculate the dosage of the medication according to each person's physique, try to avoid the pain in the process, in order to prevent the patient's body from having a strong reaction after taking the drug, resulting in rejection, the doctor will provide the patient with a medicine bottle to prevent vomiting.
Before drinking the anti-vomiting medicine, the doctor will also confirm again whether you drank it voluntarily, and you will also have a video recorder around you to record the whole process, in order to cause unnecessary disputes, when you drink the anti-vomiting medicine, the doctor will send the final medicine to you, so that you can decide the process and the result.
Generally, this medicine is either oral or injectable, and the doctor will also make adjustments according to the patient's condition in advance, and finally when the patient finally takes the drug, the consciousness and life improvement will disappear in a short time, but this process is not so simple for the patient.
Euthanasia can indeed play the role of "euthanasia and death", but this is only a physical liberation, when you drink the "poison" you still have feelings in the body, you will clearly feel that your body is gradually moving away, your consciousness will gradually blur, at this time your brain will be extremely excited, hoping to do something to save your life, and your perception of time will also slow down.
I will also recall all kinds of things in the past, whether these things are regretful or beautiful, they will quickly dissipate after dozens of seconds, can you guarantee that you will not regret this process? Can you not remember the beauty of life? Therefore, euthanasia can only take away your physical pain, but it will also torture you mentally and painfully.
The reason why euthanasia exists in a small number of countries is also very realistic, because if it is widely popularized, it is difficult to completely avoid the boundary between "morality and law".
Therefore, although "euthanasia" has been proposed many times, it has hindered the legalization of euthanasia due to various reasons, and now medicine is constantly improving, and the main concept of medicine is to be able to cure the patient, even in the face of terminal illness, try to let the patient reduce pain and prolong the survival time in the last time, and "euthanasia" is actually in conflict with the "core of medicine".
Finally, from an objective point of view, "euthanasia" is indeed a choice, some people support its implementation, of course, there are people who oppose it, both have their own reasons, this "debate" may never have an answer, because there is no right or wrong in life, all we can do is respect the choice.
