Watch: ‘Why Are We Safeguarding Cells?’ – Philosophy Teacher … – Lovin Malta

Maltese philosophy teacher Elton Grech discussed and made comparisons between euthanasia and abortion on Jon Mallias podcast.

Whoevers receiving euthanasia is in a much more advanced state, is more cognitively developed, and aware (than a few weeks old fetuses), Grech said on the Jon Mallia Podcast.

So why are we safeguarding cells that we cant properly identify as an individual? As a human, yes thats genes, DNA.

Elton Grech deliberated the issues that arise when talking about such sensitive and controversial topics, ones that involve matters of life and death.

Grechs argument is based on the fact that a fully-grown person waiting for euthanasia is, to our knowledge, more developed than a fetus.

Many see the potential of personhood as an actuality, and Grech used the scenario of a child who is a potential future driver as an example.

Just because someone whos seven years old has the potential to turn eighteen and start driving, doesnt mean youd give them the keys and tell them to go drive your car, Grech explains.

Do you agree with Elton Grechs argument?
