The pain (Post 4)

Since I was a child I've went to many funerals and, like I grew up in a catholic context, I always heard to my mother saying condolences like "Will be in a better place, is resting now", and  I thought about "resting for what?", why death could be a better state than the life. The second question had an answer: the heaven is better of all, but the first one had no answer for some time.

The right to a dignified death should be legal in our and in all countries, although, this is a liberal idea and maybe not all countries needs legalize it. However, in our context, the suffering of persons with terminal disease, with a pain with no cure, justify and put emphasize in the legalization of euthanasia.

In the last years, we've seen like adults and young people have cried out for put end of their pain, that lives that revolve around this illness. Therefore, they have died in completely suffering, extending the agony with no sense.

Otherwise, this is a controversial issue because both physical pain and hopes of relatives are in conflict. This is what Bourdieu pointed out with the problem to understand public debates as an ethic problem and a political problem. According the last, we say the euthanasia is a individual right and nobody should deny them, but in an ethic posture, nobody wants to let a loved one go. In this case, we would say also that nobody wants to see a loved one wretched.

In conclusion, we can move in differents positions about this theme but we owe bear in mind that euthanasia could be a better choice for some persons to rest in peace.
