What is your social issue? My social issue is euthanasia. Euthanasia is when a terminally ill person is killed by assisted suicide.
Why is it such a social issue? What do people disagree about in relation to this topic? This is such a social issue because there are people who think that if someone is very sick and want to die they should have the choice to while there are also the people who believe Assisted Suicide is a bad thing because it goes against what doctors are there for. Doctors are known for taking care of life not taking it away.
What is your proposed solution? Why do you think this is the best solution? The solution that I believe would be a reasonable decision is that they should only have the option of euthanasia if they have six or less months to live. I believe that this would be a good solution because it would prevent abuse of assisted suicide because then someone would have to be dying for a doctor to legally euthanize them.
What are pros to your solution? One pro is that a doctor wouldn’t be able to give someone the option of Assisted Suicide unless they are dying.
What are cons to your solution? Some people would find someone on the black market to illegally Euthanize them.
Questions I have for you
- What do you think about this topic?
- What do you think would be a good solution?
- Do you have any other pros or cons of my solution?
I like your solution because it explains when should you go to the option of euthanasia. One of my cons is that the person will get less time with their family but the pro is they do not get to suffer at the end of their life.
I think this is a serious social issue, I think if someone is in more pain then they can bare and they no longer feel like staying alive is worth it they should have that choice. A solution would be to keep the requirements for this choice extremely clear.
