Lun Chanvannak's List: Week3

• she sat up in her hospital bed and said to me, "Will you help   me die?" That is when I first encountered the issue of euthanasia;   from across my late wife's hospital bed.
• I am not a Christian. I am an atheist. So, for me there was   no question of consulting any god. It was a matter of situational   ethics.
• have to obtain the opinion of a second doctor
• patient with an oral or   intravenous drug overdose
• My position is that euthanasia is not primarily an individual   issue
• should   not be governed primarily by individual
• There are two extreme positions
• from the middle   position
• a positive one--to nurture and support life
• a negative obligation   not to harm life.
• the principle against the prohibition   of killing
• Are we a virtuous people that creates a community of caring   or are we going to compromise that in the way we allow euthanasia   to become a practice in our healing society?
