“So tonight we are supporting the fighters, admiring the survivors, honoring the taken, and never, ever giving up hope.” shared Jessica Martinez as she started off PHS's Kill Cancer night.

The night was planned by Pacific’s National Honor Society Secretary Jessica Martinez as her National Honor Society personal project. Each member is required to lead an event held by PHS NHS members. NHS pushes students to be there best through leadership roles in there community and school.…
My grandmother was diagnosed for the first time with colon cancer when she was 27 years old. Cancer reoccurred several times over her lifetime until it finally came back and killed her at the age of 81. All of my grandmother's four children were diagnosed with colon cancer at some point ( including my mother). Luckily, the cancer was caught in time with each of them to be cured. Unfortunately, they all are at a high risk of it returning.…
Imagine being cooped up in a hospital room and you are hooked up to countless machines. With doctors and nurses checking on you asking if you’re okay but, you’re tired, fatigued, and just want the pain to go away. The doctors gave you a terminal diagnosis with death is just around the corner. If you have come to terms with your death you should be able to choose how your life ends.…
Imagine you have been physically ill for some time and you have been put through tests. Poked and prodded several times, given blood sample after blood sample because the doctors have to run through different tests trying to figure out what is wrong with you. Finally, the doctors call you in to their office to sit you down and explain what is going on with your health. The diagnosis is grim and basically the doctors tell you that you have cancer or some other life threatening disease that is deteriorating your health. Most the time if its cancer it’s in the last stage usually a 4 or 5 and they give you a time frame of a few months to a year.…
Supporters of this idea argue that choosing when and how they want to die should not be restricted, and they should be allowed to have the ultimate say in their health care. On the other hand, opposers…

The freedom of choice is the foundation of liberal democracies and free market systems, and therefore it is a right that should be applied to all aspects of a person’s life, including the instance where they are on their deathbed choosing to be granted an early death. Lonny Shavelson, MD, stated June 9, 2016, “when they say ‘I don’t want to live in this bed for the next three weeks waiting to die’ it’s an odd change in the consent procedure. Suddenly they become wrong and we become right. That does not make sense to me. Dying should not be completely separate from everything else we do in medicine” (“Euthanasia”).…
Would I want to put myself and my family thru this pain and suffering? What if an option was given to a Physician-Assisted Suicide prior to the worsening of the condition or mental change? “Euthanasia, also known as assisted suicide, physician-assisted suicide (dying), doctor-assisted dying…
After living through everything life has thrown at him, a man is diagnosed with stage four brain cancer. He only has months left to live. Although those months will be filled with constant agony, he must suffer through them. His family must suffer through it. Instead of welcoming the end of life in peace, he will be immobile and uncommunicative.…
Have you ever thought about having to make the choice to end your voluntarily to end the suffering of a terminal illness or cancer? I, as a mentally competent young adult, believe that if there no hope for recovery or release from the pain and suffering you should be able to end your life. I do, however, see this as a final option. Doctors would have to conclude that there is no hope and they cannot do anything to end the mental and physical pain. I believe each and every mentally competent adult should have the option to end their life with dignity through the Death with Dignity Act.…
A loved one gets diagnosed with a terminally ill disease and they are given a couple of options and one of them is assisted suicide, what do you think? Would you want them to end their life even if they are told they only have 5 months to live but maybe they get care from the doctor and live for 5 more years? What would you want them to do, just remember if they end their life you will never speak to them again and you will always wonder if you could have had more good memories with them. With a decision this tough it’s hard to decide what should happen but the patient should choose what is best for them not what is best for its family, but if they get care from the doctor and manage the symptoms they could more than likely live longer and have more good times with loved ones. Now imagine doctors having the power to kill their patients with medicine like a pill, if a loved one gets diagnosed the doctor could just automatically think to the assisted…

If you are a loved one was told you had six months left to live and could end up debilitating quickly from a terminal disease, what would you do? Would you go for hospice, palliative care, pain management, or would you consider death with dignity. Death with dignity is something some are not aware of this; as it is legal in only three states, legal with court approved in three states, eleven states considering it, twelve states considered it but did not pass the legislation, and eleven states with no activity with death with dignity. Death with dignity I feel should be a great law for all fifty states to pick up and it definitely would be my choice if I was ever given six months of life to live with a debilitating painful disease.…
