Euthanasia

Euthanasia

Euthanasia means gentle or easy death for those who are incurably ill and in
pain. So should a person have the right to take another person's life or his own
when he/she is incurably ill and in pain. That is what whole of Australia is
trying to decide. The N.T all ready has passed a law that legalise euthanasia in
that state. Now other government leaders and members are in support of this are
pushing for an Australian euthanasia law. Christian Groups and Anti-Euthanasia
have seen euthanasia as a sin and a choice that no-body should make. Some
doctors have taken ill patients life's as a request from the patient should this
now be openly done.

On the 18/06/96, The head of the NT chapter of the Australia Medical Association,
Dr.Chris Wake, and Aboriginal leader Rev.Djiniynni Gondarra  put  forward the NT
euthanasia law .But was dismissed by the NT Supreme Court. After appealing and
with the support of three major party leaders the law was passed.  Prime
Minister John Howard disapproved with the Law and saying that he has no problem
reconciling his views on federalism with his views on life and death by voting
to over turn the law. Also  Kevin Andrews was strongly not in favour and with
Howard's support he   introduced a bill overriding the N.T laws. But still in
the end the law was still standing. If our leaders are divided we could say that
the citizens of Australia would have been divided on this Issue. Maybe a
referendum would have been appropriate, but still euthanasia would still occur
illegal and secrecy.

Christian groups and Christian have strongly supported their view on euthanasia ,
they have seen it as a sin. For a Christian his life is not just his because his
life is part of god's. In the Bible, chapter of (Romans 14:18) it states "If we
live ,we are responsible to the Lord and when we die we are responsible to the
Lord. Both in life and death we belong to the lord. Christian view the death of
a human person as their turn to meet god." As Christian Rights groups and Anti-
euthanasia believe in  these views they have protested in a number of occasions
to stop any euthanasia Laws going ahead. As Christian's try to obey these laws
it is wisely to say that most Christian's are not going to support euthanasia.
