    When a patient goes into a hospital, they expect the doctors to do an objective and professional job. From the moment, you begin working in the medical field, whether it is as a First Responder, an Emergency Medical Technician, or a Transplant Surgeon, you learn to not discriminate a patient for their gender, religion, ethnicity or the way they choose to live their life. As a doctor, I cannot break the bond I have built with my patients. If I do not do the job expected of me, and I set my needs and wants before the well-being of my patients, I could lose my job, my license, and the ability to save other lives. In addition, I would be neglecting the care of someone’s daughter, mother, sister, or friend.…

    Physician-Assisted Suicicde Physician-assisted-suicide is only legal in Montana, Oregon, and Washington while other states don’t have any written legislation or have completely illegalized the option. There are many mixed feelings when it comes to physician assisted suicide because of two contradicting words you would never expect to be next to each other. A physicians’ sole role is to provide by all means the best care under the impression that it is towards the benefit and well-being of that patient. Not, assist in helping a patient take away their life through a lethal cocktail of therapeutic medicine or by providing them with the knowledge of how to effectively take their life away before considering some type of therapy. In this view…

    Eric Cassell argues that physicians have misunderstood the nature of suffering. This is owing largely to the mind-body dualism first introduced by the philosopher Rene Descartes. Physicians focus on the restoration of the body at the complete neglect of the non-body make-up of the human. Cassell argues that this has led to medical treatment actually increasing a patient’s suffering. Opposed to the generally accepted four goals of medicine; prevention, relief, care of ill and avoidance of premature death, Cassell argues that the fundamental purpose of medicine is the relief of suffering.…

    Since the beginning of the practice of medicine, ethical traditions are opposed to taking someone’s life (Starks, Dudzinski,& White). When they say that, they are saying that no person who practices medicine is to take another person’s life. You are to do everything in your power to keep them…

    Since Oregon passed its “death with dignity” law in 1997, four more states have followed suit in giving patients diagnosed with terminal illness the “right” to a hastened death. On the other hand, several states, including California, have proposed but failed to de-illegalize it. This issue has proven to be very controversial--- igniting decades of heated debates, dividing legislators, organizations, and families between “pro-life” and “pro-death,” and shaking the very foundations of the practice of medicine. However, amidst the burgeoning bandwagon effect and the plethora of arguments for the said “right,” I find that it needs to be repealed on these grounds: it threatens and abuses the vulnerable, and casts aspersions on physician integrity.…

    We are living in a time when some doctors and lawmakers think the best solution in helping relieve patients suffering is giving them a deadly drug to kill them. Starting between the 17th and 19th century, laws have prohibited physician-assisted suicide. In 1828 the first U.S Statue outlawing physician-assisted suicide was put forth in New York. This issue has been addressed for well over 1000 years, and the majority has always been against the legalization of physician-assisted suicide. Today, in 2016, the conflict of physician-assisted suicide is still prevalent.…

    The ability to die is inherited by all people at the moment of conception but the legal right to die is a topic most concerning in today’s politics. Andrew D. Sumner, a graduate a Penn State’s College of Medicine in 1990, proposes that individuals should not have the legal right to end their life due to terminal illness or ailment. Approximately 1.2% of American citizens die every year from some form of terminal illness(Guy, Maytal, and Theodore A. Stern 6). Many of those deaths involve excruciating pain from the illness itself and family members suffering over an hourglass that just won 't seem to run out. Denying people the right to chose when they want to pass on their own terms is simply cruel and unjust, not only to the patient, but to the loved ones of the individual.…
