Assisted Suicide.


Assisted suicide. People who are suffering from a terminal disease have a life of pain and sorrow come to them. Their whole body will shut down, including their organs and lungs. Could you imagine how painful that would be even with pain medication. The amount of medication it would take to supress that pain would be lethal all in it's own. I think if someone is in so much pain, and is suffering so greatly, that they should have the right to ask for help to end their life. It's not just about the physical pain that their going through, can you imagine the sorrow and emotional pain that someone who is slowly fading away will or would feel? Some people would argue that if you choose to perform the act of assisted suicide that you have no second chance. Well, if you were dying of a slow hard and emotional death, would you want to go back to that? Others say that helping someone through assisted suicide is like pushing someone off a building who is threatening to jump. I don't know why someone would say that. If someone is going to jump off a building, there is something wrong, mentaly.
