Assisted Suicide Should Be Option

In other words euthanasia is intentionally causing the death of a person to relieve them from suffering or pain and assisted suicide is helping the person kill him or herself. The main difference between euthanasia and assisted suicide is that in assisted suicide the patient is in complete control of the process that leads to death because he or she is the person who performs the act of suicide. The other person simply helps provide the means for carrying out the action. However, in euthanasia the patient is not causing his or her own death. I believe that the film, The Sea Inside, provides us with an example of assisted suicide. Ramon wanted it to be a case of euthanasia, but lost that battle when he took it to the courts. So he was left with no choice but to find the means to end his own life. With the help of his friends, he was able to get a hold of potassium cyanide and by drinking it he was able to take his own life.

Assisted suicide is when you give someone else permission like a physician, to kill you. Assisted suicide is legal in at least six states (Tolle, 1996) and there is lots of people who wanted to die because the disease they might have at the moment is just too much for them. If a patient that wanted to die the they would either talk to a physician or their doctor and give the doctor permission to just kill the patient. Assisted suicide can only happen when your medication is not working and the pain from the sickness you have is just abdominale. There was a case that was about how a man who was going through chemotherapy he didn't want to go through it so he talked to his doctor about assisted suicide. They decided to

Assisted suicide is the suicide of a terminally- ill patient, achieved by using a prescribed drug from a doctor for that specific purpose. It is legal in only six states in the United States of America including: Oregon, Montana, Washington, Colorado, Vermont, and California. Countries such as Germany, Japan, and Switzerland have legalized assisted suicide in past years. It has been disputed for many years and continues to be a controversial issue whether physicians should be authorized to end an individual’s life with their prescription and if this should be done legally.

Assisted Suicide/ Euthanasia is wrong and should not be allowed to be a law. Families shouldn’t have to go through that pain of their family member killing themselves because they hate the pain they are going through. The pain will go away with time and there is medicine for any kind of pain. There are some people who believe that there should be a choice for people who are in pain and they should have that choice because they want what they think is best for themselves. However, there are people who take Assisted Suicide/ Euthanasia to the extreme and people who “have pain” use it and they use it for the wrong reason. Many people don’t think this is a necessary reason for killing yourself. Studies show that there is a great amount of people who suffer from pain or depression that commit suicide(Why Assisted Suicide).

Assisted suicide is the act of committing suicide with the help of another person or doctor, most commonly referred to as Physician Assisted Suicide. It is currently legal in Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Montana, California, and Colorado. Considering the increase of people dying from terminal illnesses, assisted suicide should be legalized across the nation. People that suffer from a terminal illness that can’t be cured or treated and will result in death have the right to end their suffering and die with dignity. However, there are people who are against assisted suicide due to religious and moral reasons, others because of their compassion and respect for those who are dying. Although the majority may not agree in making assisted suicide legal in every state, there is an agreement that no one should ever suffer because they are denied the right to stop suffering. Terminally ill patients also have rights just like normal, healthy citizens do and they should not be denied the right to not suffer.

When people hear the term “assisted suicide” they immediately give it a negative connotation, due to the nature of the two terms when placed side by side. Assisting someone with ending their life does not sound like something that could possibly be considered morally justifiable. After actually looking into the logistics and meaning behind the term, however, it can be concluded that assisted suicide is actually helping a patient prescribed lethal drugs that have a negative impact on their demeanor for an incurable disease where death is essentially inevitable (Humphry, Derek). Those who are terminally ill tend to fall into an intense state of depression due to their lack

People imply that assisted suicide is a way to end the pain and suffering in a way that is easy, it also should be up to the people and doctors.A lot of people imply that it should not be the doctor’s decision to end a patient’s life. The belief that assisted suicide is a horrible way to end a person’s life. It does not give them a choice to live. People who are in pain and are really sick they should have the choice whether they want to live or die, years go by and doctors have been prohibited from helping patients to take their own lives Doctors should have the right to decide if they have had enough. Easy Judge suggests “The right to die should be a fundamental freedom to each person (Gorsuch, 2008)”. By making assisted suicide illegal it

Does a suffering person have the right to end their own life? That is the main debate behind assisted suicide. Assisted suicide is a very secretive, but surprisingly available option for people who are suffering. The documentary The Suicide Plan is largely presented from the point of view of the people who believe assisted suicide should be legal. The documentary takes us inside the hidden world of assisted suicide, as seen through the eyes of the people considering it. Assisted suicide is only legal for terminally ill patients in the states Oregon and Washington. Individuals in other states who consider assisted suicide are generally suffering terminally ill patients who want the same equal opportunity. There are many organizations that people can reach out to for information about the requirements, the step-by-step process, and what to expect. The organizations have very specific guidelines for their client and patients have to understand that they will be killing themselves. Organizations are not physically involved in the suicide, they do not provide any drugs or materials, and very carefully confirm the individual’s understanding. The organizations help people decide if suicide is the right option for them and are there through out the whole process to support the individual and their families.

What is it like to live in the shoes of a terminally ill person? A sparse amount of people can relate. We often see terminally ill people as people who endure great amounts of pain, suffering from their burden of a condition. When it comes to death, doctors and the medical staff often try to keep the terminal condition at bay. When is it that a terminally ill patient is allowed to say, “I am ready to let go and be free of my painful state”? The ban on assisted suicide is a hindrance to the right of Terminally Ill to end their pain and suffering.
