Physician Assisted Suicide Is An Overly Powerful Thing

Physician assisted suicide is requesting a method of death from a doctor when one is terminally ill. Being told that you have a small amount of time left to live is devastating, but technology eases pain and allows people with terminal illnesses to live longer. Why wouldn’t you want to spend more time with your loved ones? It makes sense to want to spend those hard times with loved ones. It is more than likely that they wish to have the unlucky terminally ill family member around and that they do not mind being their caretakers. Furthermore, ending one’s life is an extreme power that no human should possess, even if the terminal illness means definite death. The act of requesting physician assisted suicide requires a lot of thinking and regards a controversial subject. Being able to decide when to die through physician assisted suicide is an overly powerful thing, faulty, and ultimately unnecessary. The most common reason people support physician assisted suicide is emp athy. Since terminal illnesses are usually painful, people feel that they should have the right to stop the pain immediately. In reality, current technology allows the pain to be eased and correctly trained physicians should be able to make the pain as bearable as it can be. Better palliative care is what patients should be asking for and receiving instead of an immediate ticket out of life. Supporters also believe that physician assisted suicide allows for the patient to experience a well-planned andShow MoreRelatedSSD2 Module 3 Notes22142 Words   |  89 Pagestraining event to make the most efficient use of available training time.
