Terminal Illness (opposing viewpoint)

While the “right to die” may sound tempting, particularly when severe illness or suffering is part of the equation, the bottom line is that the terminally ill are not the only targets of those who claim that everyone should have the right to die.  Terri Shiavo is a name and story known throughout the world.  Young female simply collapses on a random day from oxygen deprivation to her brain.  This young woman was granted the right to die. (ALL) People with terminal illness’s argument is that if they are in so much pain and have a set expiration date, then they should be granted the right to death.  Let us ask ourselves, what about the others? People with terminal illness’s are not the only people that believe they have this right and wish to use it.  Consider the blind man whom no person will care for, or the depressed office worker that never raises his voice to anyone.  If allowed, this right could set forth a wave of controversy.  People everywhere would want to use they’re right.  Murderers excuses become easier to back, people would blame the government for what their loved ones did to themselves.  Conclusively, if we allow this right to be made into law, then we shall be standing on an even more slippery slope than we already are today.
