There is a frenzy going on in America and all over the world with a concept of evil in it: When people are on life support on a respirator that is, and their life depends on it, you can be just "plugged out" and bye-bye there you go just straight to heaven, "well i can't look at his pain....." etc, bone chilling!
To explain the cruelty and grossness of letting a life die, I am afraid I'm gonna have come down to.
First of all let's ask why would cousing pain to someone be wrong? and the answer would be: because it hurts. why does pain hurt? because when you feel that something is going wrong with your body you disagree with it, that disagreement is pain, and why do you disagree with it? because "it" endangers your life.
So it comes out that the problem with causing pain to someone is because you are endangering his life and taking away his freedom to live, do you want someone to do this to yourself? no, so don't do this to someone else! And therefor you shouldn't kill anybody either.
How about dope someone up and then kill him? would that be OK? no, still, you're taking away his freedom to live by damaging his body and making incapable for him to live.
What about kill someone with his own consent? you will still be taking away his freedom, because he still wants to live, for if he didn't he would just stop living without committing any damage to his body, (a body is able to do this).
Therefor you can not let someone die by taking him off a respirator, because you will force him to die, while he doesn't want to.
The bottom line is, the idea of not keeping someone alive no matter what, should be taken out of the minds of the American peaple and the rest of the world.
Because letting a person die is gruesome and cruel.
