Euthanasia: An expression of the culture of death
Abstract
In the article: “Euthanasia as an expression of social hedonism”, Dr, Amparo Vélez considers the pressures for a “sweet death” to be a characteristic of a culture of death, typical of today’s society, she understands the wide spread of “living testaments” (those given while dying). She presents arguments for and against euthanasia. However, she does not deal whit the philosophical and linguistic explanations of those that attack or defend euthanasia. Instead, she proposes a sociocultural hypothesis related to the proclivous tendency of today´s society regarding euthanasia.
