Explain the issues surrounding the right to life and the right to death? (25)
There are many issues surrounding the right to die and the right to live, it is a very personal question which will be debated in the following essay.
The right to die as many arguments for including, the compassion argument, this is where people who agree with the right to die, argues that we should “die with dignity” and we shouldn’t force anybody to carry on their lives if they don’t want to. An example of this is Active (This is generally understood as the deliberate action of a medical professional or layperson to hasten a patient's death.) and voluntary (When the person who is killed has requested to be killed.) euthanasia, many people dispute this as they feel that some people especially handicapped or elderly people feel they have a duty to commit euthanasia.

The Prime Mover 1) Aristotle’s ideas about the prime mover link in with his ideas about cause because he believes there has to be a first cause, an unchanging, eternal perfect cause which then helps the material efficient formal and final causes to come into play.

2) “the prime mover “being eternal, substance and actuality”” 1. Aristotle’s idea of the Prime Mover is explained in this quote form the book Metaphysics to be “eternal”- forever living, “substance”- a particular kind of matter with uniform properties. And “actuality”- the state of existing in reality.

3) The Prime mover “moves without being moved” and “produces motion by being loved”, This shows that the relationship between the prime mover and the world is that everything in the world is attracted to the prime mover and aspires to be like it but they can’t reach their because the prime mover exists out of time and space therefore it cannot move.

4) Aristotle believes the Prime Move must be immaterial, in other words, lacking in physical matter this is because The Prime Mover must have no potentiality and it must be something which already is everything it could be ‘pure actuality’. The Prime Mover must be the final, final cause.

5) The prime mover thinks about its self and nobody else and Aristotle thinks this maybe the case because it is the “most excellent of things” and it is perfect.

6) A religious believer might find Aristotle’s idea of the unmoved mover unsatisfactory because they may say that the unmoved mover is God and he doesn’t just think of himself and he does interact with us on earth, unlike the description Aristotle gives.
