Position Analysis on Wennberg
Today, controversy toward euthanasia is important. I think Wennberg
agrees with euthanasia. In order to support his position, Wennberg uses three
types of evidence, language expression, view point from religion, and medical
experts' opinions. I will explain Wennberg’s position to use three types of
evidence.
Firstly, Wennberg shows his position in language expression.
Wennberg said “the Christian community should at least seriously consider
euthanasia as a lethal and moral possibility.” Many religious people disagree
with euthanasia, then Wennberg suggests that the Christian reconsider about
euthanasia. So it can be said Wennberg agree with euthanasia.
Secondly, Wennberg uses view point from religion to support his
position. For example, Wennberg quotes Leslie Weatherhead's opinion, who is a
clergyman. According to Leslie Weatherhead, it is not valuable to keep living against
own will when patient lost dignity of human because of illness. As I mentioned
former, a lot of people in the Christian community disagree with euthanasia,
but some in the Christian community agree with Leslie Weatherhead because it
can be considered euthanasia is not against Christianity. Wennberg emphasize
the minority of the Christian community which agree with euthanasia, so
Wennberg’s position is for euthanasia.
Thirdly, Wennberg uses medical expert’s opinion to support his
position. For example, Wennberg quotes the words of physician, Leonard Colebrook.
According to Leonard Colebrook, the suffering for cancer patient is not only
physical but also mental. Euthanasia can save the patient from the suffering.
Leonard Colebrook agree with euthanasia and it can be support Wennberg’s
position.
From three types of evidence, I think Wennberg agrees with
euthanasia.(260 word)
