sit in pain due to their sicknesses. Should these people have to go through all

Now that I’ve demonstrated that my ethical theory can be used to make educated decisions in situations that we can potentially face daily, how does my ethical theory fit with issues of life or death? My ethical theory focuses more on issues that an individual will face in their everyday life. It does not directly deal with issues of life and death; however you can still go through the core concepts to make a decision. For instance, let's take a look at assisted suicide.

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). Dr. Eli Robbins found that 47% of those committing suicide were diagnosed with schizophrenic panic disorders and

Imagine yourself lying in bed at the hospital hooked up to all sorts of machines that are just barely keeping you alive. Imagine the pain and suffering you are in on a daily bass and the medication being given to you isn’t cutting it any longer and all the doctors and nurses can do for you is just keep you comfortable. The doctors have literally given you no chance of survival and death is imminent. You have taken the time you have left to say your good-byes, came to terms with dying, and you are ready to leave this world. If you could choose to end your life instead of wasting away, would you take advantage of it?

Some states and countries allow physical assisted suicide to patients who are deemed terminally ill. Every year thousands of patients are place in hospice care, only to be given an estimated time frame of how long they have to live. During this time, these patients are suffering from terminal diseases and conditions. In 1994, Oregon became the first state to write the Death with Dignity act into law. For those suffering from terminal illness this was great news. However, this controversial law would soon be repealed in 1997, only to be reinstated in 2006. Ever since then, other states have exercised their rights to adopt similar laws and others have not due to the controversy surrounding this topic. Although some states have endorsed this topic,

An ongoing national concern is assisted suicide. Should it be legal or illegal? Assisted suicide is defined as the death of a patient due to suffering caused by an incurable disease. They end their life by taking lethal amounts of drugs provided by a doctor. (Oxford University Press 2015).In America, people have rights, but does the government have the authority to decide personal choices for them? This is a very realistic topic discussed among the nation’s citizens. The following are considered extreme viewpoints of this topic: humanistic, capitalistic, conservative, and liberal. There are currently only five states that practice the death with dignity law, those being Oregon, Washington, Vermont, New Mexico, and Montana. Some are legalized

In today’s society, assisted-suicide is a highly debatable topic. Due to advancements in medicine and medical technology, that can prolong life and slow down the process of dying, the desire for assisted suicides has increased. Assisted-suicide is when a health care professional provides a patient the knowledge and means to intentionally kill themselves (Harris 2006). An example of assisted-suicide is providing a patient pills to take to end their lives. Patient assisted-suicides are only legal in six states within the United States; Oregon, Washington, Vermont, California, Montana and Colorado (Hudson 2015). In order for an individual to legally qualify the patient must have the capability to effectively communicate their healthcare decision,

“Death with Dignity” is a phrase referring to the process of assisting terminally ill patients that have no chance of recovery to die earlier than they would have under natural circumstances by having physicians prescribe medication that would hasten the patients’ death. It is often perceived as a move to relieve the ill of the scorching pain and suffering that they could be undergoing. Family members and, in a few occasions, close friends are tasked with deciding when to assist a loved one die in case the patient is incapacitated. However, the patient is often the one to make the decision about whether or not to be kept alive, assuming that they are of sound mind. Death with dignity only happens when a patient with a sound mind makes the decision that he or she should be put out of their misery. One of the commonly used synonyms for death with dignity is assisted suicide, being as though the patient is being assisted to end their life.

People all around the world die with excruciating pain. There are many different ways people die but some can only be helped with suicide. In the United States we can help by providing Assisted Suicide to be legal. Although Suicide is never justified, Assisted Suicide should be legal in the United States.

Assisted suicide is an ongoing affair that has gained relevance due to recent events. For example, Brittany Maynard who decided to take her own life on November 1, 2014 at the age of 29. This caused a major uproar in the United States, much of America was split between the decision of Maynard, those who supported her cause were for the Death with Dignity Law, while the opposing crowd were a variety of religious organizations that condemned Maynard for advocating such cause. This dilemma has defy the beliefs of many Americans, and it appears to be a continuation of church versus state. In today’s age there seems to be a separation of religion in the modern home, and this has caused a major shift in how we evaluate things. Instead of looking to the church for guidance, we are using technology and science to validate our values.

Have you seen a loved one spiraling down into a pit of agony and suffering? Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia is a controversial political and moral topic in the United States. Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia is a practice in which the doctor takes a hopeless patients life with the consent of the patient. Euthanasia is when the doctor pulls the “trigger” but Assisted Suicide is different, Assisted Suicide is when the doctor set the practice up but the patient pulls the “trigger”.

The concept of assisted suicide is one that is extremely hard to decipher between what is truly right and wrong. Assisted suicide is when a person with an incurable disease, who most of the time is given a certain amount of time they are expected to live, is guided or instructed by a physician, so they can comfortably and easily commit suicide. At least, easier than it would be for a patient to do it all on his or her own. Sometimes the physician can provide what is needed for the patient to commit suicide such as lethal drugs. I can see how this could be argued for and against, which is why there are also legal issues as to whether this should have a law against it or one stating that it is legal. I am choosing to discuss why I am against this, because this topic can be looked at from either side but I feel as if the cons outweigh the pros. Personally, I believe that life is valuable and shouldn 't purposefully be ended by the physician or the patient. Physicians also take an oath to try and preserve human life to the best of their abilities and to not do any harm to any patients. Doctors never have all the answers, sometimes their prognoses are not always correct. If more people use assistance for suicide, I believe that it will make it more common and accessible to people who don 't have a real reason to consider it.
