Abstract
In this paper I will argue for two main points, supported through different
approaches to the problem with euthanasia, and I will develop a new social outlook
towards the topic. The first argument will focus on why we should not take heroic
measures to extend the lives of patients in persistent vegetative states (PVS), those
being the ones with a low chance of survival. The second argument will focus on our
blatant violations against humanity when dealing with the decisions of euthanizing
patients of any situation.
