The weight of death

Recently, there has been a noticeable trend of valuing life and denying or rejecting death. There are many cases where people are forced to live by saying things like, "You can't die," "Live, there will be something good if you live," etc.
Why is the discussion on euthanasia not progressing? It is because of the strong influence of the custom of valuing life and rejecting the choice of death.
"If euthanasia is allowed, many people who don't really want to die will die," "Other people will choose death for economic reasons," "Other people will say they want to die because they don't want to feel pain," and in religion, "God doesn't approve," etc. If you start listing the reasons, there's no end to it.
Instead of such pointless talk, we should first recognize the right to choose death, and then we should decide on strict rules.
What you should not misunderstand here is that we are not belittling life. Rather, death and the right to choose death should be considered with the same weight as life and the right to live. Life is extremely important and has immeasurable value, and death is also extremely important and has immeasurable value. Please do not misunderstand this.
The current situation is that death, specifically the right to choose death, is treated too lightly in today's society. That is why people refuse and deny it for various reasons, and do their best to distance themselves from the right to die rather than seriously confront it.
Let's think about it for a moment.
For example, you were in an accident and suffered spinal cord damage, becoming disabled. Naturally, you would feel despair and want to die. So, let's wait a year, and maybe you'll find some hope in that time. That should be enough time to find some joy in living. If the desire to die hasn't changed after a year, shouldn't we allow the right to die to be exercised? Or, if you feel sorry for causing trouble to others, it is painful to impose a burden on those around you, and you have certainly found the joy of living, but the pain of living outweighs it, and you decide that dying is the best choice, then surely it is okay to allow the exercise of that right?
For example, your family member is in an accident, loses consciousness, and a year has passed, and recovery is not expected,
there is no treatment, and no prospect of development. What will you do in that case? Will you take a chance that some treatment will be developed in the future and your precious family member will regain consciousness, or will you accept that "enough is enough" and request that life support be stopped?
As some of you may already know, medical facilities, not just in Japan, are facing a chronic shortage of beds. As a result, there are queues of people waiting for treatment, and there are quite a few cases where their condition worsens or they pass away while waiting their turn. With that in mind, what will you do? Will you continue to wait for recovery for 10 or 50 years, or will you give your seat to the next person? Which would you choose: the life of your family or the life of a stranger you don't even know where they are?
When it comes to terminally ill patients, there is no hope of survival, there is nothing that can be done, and they simply wait to die. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to allow euthanasia and shorten their suffering? Why do they have to wait for such a long time in pain until the flame of life goes out? Why can't they just make it easier for them?
Everyone often talks about humanity and human rights, but is it really right for modern society to deny death and to disregard and reject the right to die? Is the current attitude and trend that places emphasis on life, living, and keeping people alive at all costs (even mischievously extending their lives against the wishes of the person and their family) really humane?
Is it truly a protection or exercise of human rights?
"Don't die" and "Live" are words that should never be said lightly.
The right to choose death is something that has the same weight and importance as the right to choose life. It should never be treated lightly.
This is a bit off topic, but in the past, in wars, there were cases where soldiers (comrades) who were badly wounded were shot on the spot. There were cases where the wounds were so severe that there was no hope of survival and they had no choice but to shoot.
Recently, it seems that this is becoming less common due to humanitarian and human rights considerations. What would you do? If you were faced with a situation where your comrade was hit by a bullet and badly wounded, there was no hope of survival, and it would be chaotic (suicidal) to carry him out of the scene, what would you choose? Would you shoot him to make him comfortable? Would you leave after saying that you would definitely come to help him? Or would you recklessly try to carry him out, knowing that you would become a target yourself?
The other thing I want to talk about is abortion.
As you know, there is a debate going on in the United States about abortion. It has even escalated to the point where a lawsuit has been filed.
First of all, I want to ask, what would you do to give birth to an unwanted and unloved child? Will that child actually be happy?
For example, if a woman is raped and becomes pregnant as a result, she will naturally reject the child. She cannot accept the child of another person who has defiled her. Meanwhile, people around her (other people) pressure her by saying things like "Abortion is no good, the child is not guilty"
Religious believers pressure her by saying things like "God does not recognize it" and "God will bring salvation".
Yes. So will other people provide mental care for her? No.
Will they create an environment so that she can raise her child with love? No.
Will they continue to be involved after the child is born, or make every effort to continue to be involved? No.
In the end, it's all someone else's business, all they care about is having a child, and if they can do that, they've achieved their goal. They don't know what happens after that, it's irrelevant.
When it comes to the church, "God will guide us". In other words, they're just leaving it all to some unknown entity that may or may not exist. In short, both the general public and church-related people are all irresponsible, and have no intention of taking responsibility from the very beginning to the very end. They're all talk, and there's not even a shadow of any intention to do anything.
So, being against abortion is irresponsible.
Unfortunately, this is the truth of the world we live in.
In the end, the death penalty is the answer.
Is it right to release those who have committed serious crimes alive from prison? They clearly have no remorse, there is no hope of rehabilitation, and no matter how you look at it, they will commit crimes again once they are released from prison. I don't think it's right to let dangerous people who commit heinous crimes such as murder, robbery-murder, and indiscriminate killing run free. Such dangerous elements should definitely be eliminated.
In the end, life sentences can be released after 30 or 40 years for various reasons, such as health reasons, or if you pretend to be Oriko and don't cause any trouble in prison, you will eventually be released.
And violent criminals who get out of prison will commit crimes again, right? The next victim (prey) will be your precious friend, or lover, or family, or maybe you yourself.
With that in mind, let me ask you a question. Is the death penalty wrong? Is it inhumane? Think carefully.
All of these are issues that relate to life and death.
Let me state once again that death or the right to die should never be taken lightly. Death, like life, carries enormous and immeasurable weight.
The world we live in is not a fairy tale world; it is very harsh, and sometimes shows its hideous and ugly face. But we must continue to look at it and face it head on.
