The concept of life can be defined from different approaches. The most common notion is linked to biology, which holds that life is the ability to be born, grow, reproduce and die. In this sense, life is what distinguishes men, animals and plants, for example, from objects such as a rock or a table.
Life is also the state of activity of organic beings and the internal force that allows to act to the one who possesses it. Another way of interpreting life is linked to the capacity of a physical being to manage his internal resources to adapt to the changes that occur in his environment.
When we see a man walking or a dog running, it is undoubted that we are before beings with life. It is more complex, on the other hand, to determine when life begins and when it ends. Religious questions are mixed with science to affirm (or deny) that life begins from the first moment of fertilization, which would be tantamount to affirming that abortion is unfailingly a murder (it ends with a life). Other positions maintain that the fetus in its early stages can not be considered a living being.
Something similar happens with death (that is, the end of life). The irreversible cessation of brain activity (known as brain death) is equivalent to science as the end of life, even if the person continues to breathe.
In this sense, we have to make clear that there are many ways that a person's life comes to an end. However, when this occurs voluntarily on the part of that is because he has opted for suicide. Personal, work or family problems are usually the most frequent causes that lead someone to make the decision to end their existence.
However, we can not forget that there is another term closely related to life and death. We are referring to euthanasia. This can be defined as the action carried out by a person with the clear objective of avoiding suffering to another individual who is in the last moments of their existence.
That is, that person is accelerating the death of that being who is suffering painfully. You can do it well with the patient's consent or simply by personal decision.
Euthanasia is one of the issues that has raised the most controversy in recent decades around the world, establishing two opposing sections: those who defend it and those who reject it fully. In the first case, they argue that it is synonymous with dignity with respect to human life, while those who oppose it consider that carrying it out is an attempt against the inviolability of life.
For religion, life is the union of body and soul. After death, the soul arrives in Paradise and can, according to some beliefs, reincarnate in another body.
Woff, woff!
Hello @duendeath, Nice to meet you!
I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.
KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!
Tips:
Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!
Woff, woff! 🐶
