Quality of life means human life has to possess certain attributes in order to have value. ### Origins of sanctity of life ![Origins of sanctity of life](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-06/38eb6278-0311-4998-a84d-fa29a8cc2b77/adam-god-.jpg) - Christians believe in the 'sanctity of life': there is something special and holy about life. For Christians, human life is different because we share something of the nature of God. - Biblical origins: - The first book of the Old Testament (Genesis) describes how God made Adam, and: **“Breathed into his nostrils the breath of life”** (Genesis 2:7). - Genesis also says that people are made **“in the image of God”**. ### Secular origins of quality of life ![Secular origins of quality of life](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-06/0bb45c67-71fc-4703-9d36-22db80ed9cf0/peter-singer-.jpg) - Secular means non-religious. - The scholar Peter Singer (pictured) has strongly argued that it is now time to abandon the sanctity of life principle in favour of the non-religious quality of life argument. - Singer believes that people nowadays make decisions based on their quality of life rather than sanctity of life. ### Quality of life principle ![Quality of life principle](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-06/e0ce5b80-4349-44f0-a824-ddcfe87f04d4/health-.jpg) - The quality of life principle takes the approach that a life is only worthwhile if it can fulfil those things which make life worth living. - For example, someone having good physical and mental health, an education, financial stability. ## Voluntary and Non-Voluntary Euthanasia Euthanasia is the deliberate ending of someone's life out of compassion. You need to know the difference between voluntary and non-voluntary euthanasia. ### Voluntary euthanasia ![Voluntary euthanasia](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/58e31e0c-1e19-4e39-bd19-4c09307f48c6/cancer-ribbon-pink-breast-.jpg) - Voluntary euthanasia means a person’s life is ended at their request or with their consent. - Reasons for using voluntary euthanasia: - Suffering from a terminal illness. - Unlikely to benefit from the discovery of a cure for that illness during what remains of their life expectancy. - Suffering intolerable pain. - Their life is unacceptably burdensome. - Has an enduring, voluntary and competent wish to die. - Unable without assistance to end their life. ### Non-voluntary euthanasia ![Non-voluntary euthanasia](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-06/731d156a-7edb-4551-b17b-9afe71d37cf6/yes-2167843_1920.png) - Non-voluntary euthanasia means a person’s life is ended without their consent but with the consent of someone representing their interests. - Glover distinguishes non-voluntary euthanasia from involuntary euthanasia. - With involuntary euthanasia, a person is killed against their wishes, such as when disabled people were killed by Nazi doctors — this is regarded as murder. - Non-voluntary euthanasia should be in the interest of the person who dies and not anyone else. ### Tony Bland example ![Tony Bland example](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-06/4e745bb5-4156-446e-9504-8a9419ba71b0/Hillsborough_West_Stand.jpg) - When doctors at Airedale Hospital in Yorkshire asked the High Court for permission to withdraw artificial nutrition and hydration from Hillsborough victim Tony Bland, his family supported the application. - After the Hillsborough stadium tragedy, Tony was left in a persistent vegetative state - and hence was not legally dead. His parents believed their son would not want to be kept alive in such a condition. They petitioned the court to sanction the withdrawal of hydration and artificial nutrition, which it did. ## Test yourself on Key Concepts for Euthanasia Debates - What is euthanasia? - Possible reasons for voluntary euthanasia.
