POSTMODERNISM> EUTHNASIA (Do humans have the right to end their lives if terminally ill)
Speaking as a postmodernism, what is the right and wrong depends on the knowledge of culture in which people live. Truth itself is not something general, is something that prevails within a society. Speaking in the matter of hand, euthanasia is view under our modern society as a criminal act. It is forbidding in many countriesand it is view as inmoral to many people. People have the right to live, the right to endure, and for these reasons laws have been created. in order to protect the integrity of life itself. As a postmodernism, under the views of my society euthanasia is wrong. This however creates a conflict amogn many people. Some people view authanasia not as suffering, instead as a way to end suffering. For this suffering, in some cultures it has been practiced. In my society, euthanasia is prohibitted because it can be used as a tool for doing evil. There have been cases, in which people have volunteered murdered others under the excuse of euthanizing them. Authorities have difficulties in handling situations like this. Other claim that people have the right ot choose to live their lives, and how to end. This matter can cause confusion and trouble for society. This is why it is prohibited, and I stand against it.

euthanasia is different to everyone. For example, I believe as a hedonist that suffering should be neglected and ignored; it shouldn't exist. Euthanasia should be active to prevent suffering for any individual and as i may logically think, nobody likes to suffer and most of all nobody likes to suffer if their is a way they could not be suffering... soy my postmodernist pal, i shall say you are wrong and should start to think different because if you could stop any suffering you would be pleased.

ReplyDeleteI think this was great, but how does a postmodernist decide when it is so non-specific as a philosophy?
