Philiosophy Survey: In The Face of Death

I believe that they are wrong to think that I am simply a selfish person when saying that just because I did not allow my own death, but allowed others, does not mean that those moral decisions were incorrect. In my view, I believe that the first scenario, they would have been justified if there had been a doctor examination, but if the article said they were sure he wouldn't survive, then I can't really argue with them, it is only imaginary, after all.
In the second scenario, I believed that the Warsaw doctor is completely justified in what that person did. Euthanasia is never wrong, unless you are not absolutely sure they are dying or if the patient objects to dying peacefully.
In the third, and final, scenario, I believe the surgeon was NOT justified in what she did to me. She did it out of the intent to satisfy her own needs, not to satisfy mine. I was not going to die painfully, so what she did was not an act of kindness, but of selfishness. And it is also ALWAYS the patient's decision to do so. Similar to the euthanasia scenario, it should have been the patient's decision to die painlessly.
