Question

Should terminally ill patients have the right to choose how and when they die? what are some of the factors do you use to come to this conclusion?

Answer 1

Terminally ill patients should not have the right to choose how and when they die because this will promote suicide. Physician-assisted suicide is a slippery slope. Imperative precautions as safeguards for patients may not be taken. Under the current, careless procedure these drugs could so easily get into the wrong hands. Lethal medication will be dealt across the nation and abused. Even those who legally receive the medication may take it under the assumption that they will die soon when most live long passed their diagnosed death date without pain due to misdiagnosis. We should take into account the life saving medical miracles that occur every day. Life is precious and should not be disposed of so casually.
