[Felix The Assassin]

My mother is well aged, and is in permanent physicians care. She still has a life, and must do things in order to achieve goals, etc.. However, as her three different doctors have all agreed upon, it is for "her quality of life" that they will conduct the future planned operation.

Ethics? Is ethics not a derivative of philosophy? Then, in so much as ethics is not a debatable, ever changing accomplice to life? If we were to perceive emotivism as; does not express factual claims or lacks truth-value, then can we judge this case? Hardly not. The medical staff has provided indisputable medical documentation. On the obverse, if we perceive prescriptivism as; moral statements that prescribe appropriate attitudes and behaviors, can we then enforce 'our' beliefs onto this case? Again, hardly not. The post' within this thread clearly affirm this.

Moreover, what must we do with normative ethics? I do believe we have witnessed in very recent times that this article of ethics may not mean the same across the spectrum, in so much as the level of melancholy that was expressed in recent historic events. How then, are we as humans, allowed to judge good from bad, in others? Especially when there is supporting professional documentation

However, as I commend you for having brought this to the forefront, we as a society must at least put forth the challenge to this etiquette of ethics. In so much as the decision of the doctors.

Reading the article, it becomes clear that from a medical standpoint, "quality of life" is the reason the doctors chose to perform the operations.

Therefore, I cannot condemn the decision based upon the medical facts presented and the current level of meta-ethics doctrine.
