Document Summary
Nov 26 and dec 1 video on euthanasia. Dying less fearful than the way they die. Family members, some wont accept it such as spouse or children. If doctor does not operate the baby will die. Some families don"t want the child to suffer or too much work and tell doctor not to operate and it dies naturally. Doctors argue that this is acceptable and not murder because the baby is dying from natural cause of its own disorder. If the parents did not want baby because ugly then killing it is unethical because it is not of natural causes: example of baby with no arms or legs. Family did not want it and said it will suffer too much. Doctors said no because not suffering pain. Same argument as before that the baby will survive and not die of natural causes (not having arms/legs) and they cant kill it.
