00 This is a critical evaluation about the book "Whose life is it anyway?". Perhaps some of you know it and I would be grateful if somebody could read it and correct my mistakes.02br

02br 00As the title suggests the book questions whether somebody has the right to decide on somebody’s life and if so who has the right to?02br 02br 00This delicate issue is described in the light of the situation of Ken, who is paralysed up to the neck. As Ken will never be able to manage everyday life without help he wants to commit suicide. The problem is that he can’t commit suicide because of his physical conditions and that’s the most important aspect of the book because he needs other people to die, which are in his case the doctors.02br 02br 00Both sides, the doctors as well as Ken, argue in an understandable way. Every doctor has the duty to save lives but Ken says that it was his body and he was the one who suffers from a restricted life. Finally Ken is represented by two lawyers who manage to let him be discharged.02br 02br 00The subject is presented in a very affecting way. Ken is a very shrewd character who turns the tables on the doctors and he tells them his view on tranquilizers and their measures. It’s very sad to see such an intelligent and likeable person suffering and desperately wanting to die and you can’t fulfil this wish for moral reasons. 00 02br 02br 00I think Ken’s situation can’t be called euthanasia and it’s something far away. I think the doctors have fulfilled their duties but the point is that doctors can’t refuse the law and they have to discharge him according to the decision of Ken’s lawyers.02br 02br 00In my opinion the doctors aren’t murderers and they warned him over and over again that he isn’t able to make a rational decision because of his depression.02br 02br 00Personally speaking I entirely understand Ken because I can’t imagine being bed-ridden and reliant on somebody. The book is compassionate and at the same time matter of fact. It definitely causes a lasting impression on the reader. The reader doesn’t get an answer to the question whether somebody and who has the right to decide on somebody else’s fate but it makes you ponder.02br 02br 02br 02td
