17:12:46 This is Biomedical Ethics.
17:12:50 The topic is physician assisted suicide suicide.
17:12:56 Is it always morally morally incorrect matter what the situation.
17:13:07 physician assisted suicide is something which has been considered around the world.
17:13:14 And in many jurisdictions laws have been passed, recognize them and there's certain situation, deliberate combination of a human life may be justified least under the law.
17:13:30 Not all people are great.
17:13:34 In the United States, Dr jack kevorkian or the manner to the attention of US public.
17:13:44 When he quite openly admitted.
17:13:48 What he had been doing for a number of years.
17:13:52 And he himself flame resistant.
17:14:01 They did it. Knowingly freely.
17:14:06 And so that was a suicide.
17:14:11 Although the doctor was there to provide the means by which the individuals and their their lives.
17:14:21 In most of the cases, the individuals were close to death due to some disease that couldn't be remedy.
17:14:30 And they did not work to continue to live under the circumstances that they were facing.
17:14:40 So in these cases people are requesting assistance with them within their own lives.
17:14:49 They prefer to guide them to live under the conditions that their illness, mental or physical presents.
17:14:56 Some people call this choice of a way to end the live euthanasia.
17:15:04 But Greek word meaning a good. Yeah, this is certainly a happy.
17:15:10 But the death, that is better than under other circumstances.
17:15:16 Good, that it was done at the person's own request with decision making, or even at their own in, rather than through submission to a disease process.
17:15:32 euthanasia is something which individuals can bring upon themselves, which cases suicide.
17:15:41 Or they could ask for the assistance of others in their lives, assisted suicide.
17:15:49 There is also the distinction to be made between ending a life by doings, which is called active youth, such as providing some form of chemical medication, which an individual would take swallow or be injected.
17:16:11 That would in their life, versus a passive euthanasia, which would involve not doing certain things to keep a person alive when they're very close to death are prolonging their die by holding back something that's very important in life saving medical
17:16:35 assistance for, like that.
17:16:40 system for life. That. Many people consider the decisions being made by the individual.
17:16:46 The act of suicide.
17:16:51 Which raises the question whether or not suicide is always morally incorrect will depend on the ethical principles you hold that apply to the situation, whether you think the proper moral judgment would be that the action, ending the life was morally
17:17:13 incorrect and city now these instances in scenario, these circles.
17:17:23 Whether or not you yourself would always doing something must be done to prolong the lives of these people.
17:17:33 No matter what, continuing their lives under the circumstances they were in.
17:17:41 And that you would take an action to prevent their ending their own Socrates is a famous case.
17:17:52 Certainly, to die.
17:17:56 He preferred to swallow me luck poison, rather than be slain by us a sword.
17:18:05 He took the cup into his hand swallowed it, and rather painlessly was control over his limbs, and then his breathing. He died in a very short amount of time.
17:18:20 Would you have stopped him from him in his life that way it's being morally wrong.
17:18:26 When the option was that then an hour to be taken into the public square, be executed by sword decapitating about the case of the Jews, surrounded by the Romans, building up in the Messiah, and knowing that they would be subjected to the Roman rule, and
17:18:51 maybe tortured slave. A slave one another to the last person.
17:18:55 Would you have stopped them, and insisted that they live their lives out slave to the room.
17:19:25 As a god like being a Jew have insisted that they not submit those means of ending their lives.
17:19:39 And instead of some way compromised, their faith.
17:19:45 Having cases of people from Northern Ireland, held in captivity in British prisons who have refused to eat on to their own death. In order to protest the British occupation of Northern Ireland, the denial level economist writes to the people of Northern
17:20:07 Ireland. Would you insist that they be fed serve out their time in prison.
17:20:14 There have been cases of Buddhist devout numbers of Buddhist communities who have poured gasoline. Other flammable liquids on themselves and lift themselves a fire unto death in protest of various wars going on in indo Chinese, hoping to bring about peaceful
17:20:34 settlement.
17:20:37 Would you stop a woman who was about to be raped.
17:20:41 From ending the life for fear of being held by the rapists and tortured and submitted to well whatever measures he chose to extract from her.
17:20:55 And instead insisted that chain door.
17:21:04 whatever are kept in store for her.
17:21:04 Well, how about is fun.
17:21:05 When captured, rather than be tortured and reveal important patient to the enemy.
17:21:13 Instead, pushes the tooth and holds a poisonous capsule cyanide usually bites down into an ending despise own life.
17:21:25 And by concealing whatever the important information is that they don't want to give up.
17:21:30 Would you stop that spy from doing that, be tortured to give up information.
17:21:35 Would you stop slaves being held in the galley of a ship from ending their lives, knowing that it was going to have a life of slavery.
17:21:45 And then choosing to do that. slit their own list, rather than live out of life as a slave.
