Is Suffering the Pain Worth It?
Many terminal patients want the right to assisted suicide because it is a means to endure their end without any unnecessary suffering and cost, physician-assisted suicide is always a huge topic that concerns people all over the world. The term physician-assisted suicide may refer to any circumstance in which a person intentionally provides someone with the means to end his or her life. Physician-assisted suicide is different from euthanasia, it is the act of “assisting” patients with their death by prescribed the lethal drug in order to end their suffering and euthanasia is the act of “requesting” for a lethal injection to end the patients’ life. The patients must meet certain requirements to be eligible for physician-assisted suicide and must take certain steps to complete the process. To be eligible for assisted suicide, the patients must be cognizant enough to make their own decisions regarding their care, have established residency in the state that is legalized, and have received a diagnosis that they will die within the next six months. In the United States, the legality of assisted suicide is determined at the state level, some states such as: California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Montana, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington are allowed physician-assisted suicide. Physician-assisted suicide should be legalized because this option might be the only way to die in peace, doctors should also respect the patients' will, doctors should let the patients decide how they want to die; most importantly, patients should have their own right to pursue their own death.
