Some claim that PAS is inhumane and unethical, while others insist that it is a given right to anybody under such extreme circumstances. In his article, “Physician-Assisted Suicide Is Always Wrong,” Ryan T. Anderson attempts to convey to citizens and policymakers that legalizing PAS across the country would be a grave mistake. However, Anderson’s argument is weak due to a series of logical fallacies…

    Assisted suicide or the right to die is an extremely controversial topic that has been talked about for decades.

    Assisted suicide is when a terminally ill patient requests a lethal dose of medication from the doctor that is servicing them. I feel as if it is compulsory to be used as for the fact that the death of the patient requesting the medication is certain, it is only a matter of time before it transpires; why put the patient through so much pain if they are going to die anyways? It should be the patient's choice of when they want to die seeing as that they are the ones that are required to deal with the pain of their sickness, not the person that is against assisted suicide. For instance, my uncle was terminally ill with lung cancer, and when he went into the hospital, he told his doctor that he did not want to inquire all the treatments since he…
