But for terminally ill patients, medical advancements only prolong an inevitable and often painful death. California resident Brittany Maynard was 29 years old when she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and given only six months to live. She did not want to face the inevitable suffering her doctors said she was likely to endure and decided she wanted to end her life on her own terms. Since California had not yet legislated Death with Dignity laws, Brittany moved to Oregon so she could end her life with dignity on Nov 1, 2014. As Barbara Coombs’ article, “Medical Aid in Dying: The Cornerstone of Patient-Centered Care” points out, “…adopting policies that support giving terminally ill patients the option of medical aid in dying is a hallmark of person-centered care.”…

Commotion where there is no more motion, but there is a choice. According to Ryan T. Anderson the author of “Physician-Assisted Suicide is Always Wrong,” states that this upcoming proclamation is an ethical battle within our society. The main argument Anderson claims is that there is no base for such right to be implemented. There is no right way to kill someone, killing, especially coming from a health professional is going against the norm of centuries of helping to prolong life; give the body a fair chance to fight and survive. The author states, the solution is better health care provided for the families and patients.…
It is of the opinion of this writer that while I do see where this type of policy could and maybe should be removed, the real instituting of Death with Dignity policies need to be more established. The reasons are very numerous and vary in application. Depression is often a temporary thing. Many reasons are not the problem of a person living beyond their use but the inability to afford adequate health care. I think that we need to look harder at the issues that surround the persons/people seeking this kind of solution and start building some serious policy.…
Death With Dignity The nation’s eyes opened when twenty nine-year-old Brittany Maynard publicly made the decision that she was going to end her life. When she learned that even with surgery her death was inevitable, she moved with her husband and mother to the first state that made the Death with Dignity Act legal, Oregon. Brittany Maynard did not want to die in vain: “She said, “I will rob cancer of the ability to take everything of me before it takes my life”” (Printz). The right to die with dignity is ethical in many cases similar to Brittany Maynard’s and should be available in The United States because people shouldn’t have to suffer severe illnesses, there should be an option available for Physician-Assisted death, which helps with peace of mind, and they should not face a penalty for going about the process.…
be their cause of death. Most recently was the outbreak with Brittany Maynard, a 29 year old with less than 6 months to live due to brain cancer. Maynard moved from Alamo, California to Oregon to receive barbiturates to die with her dignity. Maynard wrote to New York Times “It has given me a sense of peace during a tumultuous time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty and pain” (Slotnik). Assisted suicide makes the patients diagnosed with terminal illnesses feel as though they have control of their lives again, rather than the illness killing them at any given point in time.…
On November 1st 2014, Brittany Maynard laid in bed surrounded by loved ones. She had chosen this day to drink the fatal dose of medication she was prescribed. She no longer wanted to suffer from head and neck pains, surgeries, seizures, and stroke like symptoms she endured from her terminal brain cancer. She had to leave her home state and make a whole new life in Oregon months prior. She states,” I had to find new physicians, establish residency in Portland, search for a new home, obtain a new driver 's license, change my voter registration and enlist people to take care of our animals, and my husband, Dan, had to take a leave of absence from his job.”…
As a human race we crave control. Control of our work, control of our government, and now some even crave control of death. The “Death with Dignity” act promotes physician assisted suicide (PAS), providing an unethical and alarming “solution” to suffering or loss of hope. This bill contains numerous flaws which endanger the weakest and most vulnerable members of our society.…
Doctors give the newlywed only six months to live. Brittany considers many options, including radiation, medication and passing away in a hospice care in her home in California.

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.…
