Terminally Ill Patients Should Have The Right To Die

Decent Essays
Some may argue that mercy killing, or euthanasia, cannot be justified on the ground of ethical concerns. However, I personally believe terminally ill patients should have the right to die when they choose. First, patients with terminal diseases often suffer a great deal from living in a hospital for a prolonged period without any chance of getting cured. For example, terminal cancer patients might have to get through a number of medical procedures not to improve their conditions but just to try to keep their lives longer, which causes them a lot of suffering until they die. Second, the costs of treatment for terminally ill patients are prohibitively high, which can impose a heavy burden on them and their families. It doesn't seem reasonable

    Each patient should be able to receive as best of an equal treatment as others would. So, if a patient with a terminal illness opts out of treatments that would prolong their life with more pain and less dignifying loss of independence to be treated equally, they should be offered physician assisted-suicide treatment. This treatment would be the best option that would equal other treatments offered to similar patients, but just don 't prolong their life. This also pertains to treating the patient fairly and with respect to the wishes he/she chooses. Not becoming bias, if say, a 35-year-old patient with a terminal illness decides physician-assisted suicide over a clinical trial treatment and a nurse thinks that the patient is still so young and in his/her prime years, should be taking treatment over physician-assisted suicide.…

    Terminally ill patients are already dying-- suffering their way through their end of time and prolonging their agony. They should have the right to end their lives peacefully, so they can stop their suffering and end their life the way they wanted to. People’s choices are up to them, not us. We can’t control what goes on in life so why should we judge a person who wants to end their live on good terms. Personal beliefs, religious beliefs, and opinions all stop Physician-Assisted Suicide (PAS)from being legal in many countries and states.…

    Insufficient palliative care can have a lot to do with whether or not someone wants to stay on this earth any longer. If the treatments being provided are not working or the people around these patients such as the nurses and doctors are not treating them right, then this would push them closer to PAD in hopes of ending their lives the way they want to. The biggest flaw in the healthcare system would be the price. “Yet many lower-income residents in Oregon might qualify for assisted-death drugs, but not qualify for basic treatments or even hospice care under medicaid. To say to someone, ‘we’ll pay for you to die, but not pay for you to live,’ it's cruel.”…

    The Terminally ill patients are in unbearable pain and emotionally suffering, it's repetitive torture for them. Terminally ill patients should have the absolute right of choosing to end their life if they are in extreme pain, their voices need to be heard. In an Article, Dr.Marcia Angell former executive editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, Writing in the New York Review of Books in 2012, Dr.Angell Asked " Why should anyone--state, or the medical or anyone else tell someone else how much suffering they must ensure as their life is ending?".

    we hi no he hi n For terminally ill patients, their only hope is to minimize the negative effects of symptoms from their life ending diseases.

    There are legitimate arguments both for and against physicians aiding patients end their own lives. I believe that the right to end one’s own life is a basic human right. The freedom of choice is a basic human right that should not be taken away. PAS should be an available option for terminally ill patients who are suffering. Terminally ill people who opt for PAS as an alternative to suffering will continue to be subject to skeptics.…

    The controversy over this extensive issue is somewhat difficult to understand if you are not a terminally ill patient. It is hard to understand the pain someone may be going through. Until you know exactly how they feel and if they want to end their own life or not, no one should be allowed to tell them they can’t and that they are morally wrong. It is their decision and their decision alone.…

    We are being inhumane to force people to continue suffering in this way (Newman, 1996). Choosing for a more painless death comes a lot easier for patients along with family who witness the pain of their loved is enduring with all the medications and treatments (which tend to cause severe side effects). I believe that is justified. Especially knowing that the chances of survival are very slim for the patient. Supports of the mercy killing ask whether it is rational or not to keep a terminally ill patient who’s hopes of survival are slim and alive on a support system when our medical infrastructure is under immense pressure (Naik, 2011).…

    Euthanasia to be a controversial problem because there seem to be no grey area, no concrete right or wrong and continues to be a highly debatable topic. I believe the Death with Dignity laws is effective in the states that have it and should be become a law in all states. Death with Dignity laws enables and insure the rights of terminally ill patients to hasten their death. I also believe the law is effective because it gives terminally ill patients a choice. Perhaps many of these patients do not want to burden family members with their declining health, suffering and agony.…

    The reasons behind Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted suicide (PAS) claim that terminally ill people should have the right to end their suffering with a quick, dignified, and compassionate death (Should Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide be Legal?). The right to die is every human’s choice. Choosing Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide can provide a terminally ill patient with a good end. It can also make it easier on the patients’ family knowing that they chose that it was their time to go. When choosing Euthanasia, the patient is showing strength and dignity.…

    Forcing a person to live and suffer while being on their death bed is inhumane and basically strips that human of their rights of life and choice (BBC). It seems like cruel and unusual punishment, which is against the constitution, to force a human to live and suffer in a hospital and in ICU when they know they more than likely will not make it out of that bed and will not leave that hospital alive. So with all of this said, euthanizing humans with the consent of the terminally ill person should be legal. The cost of keeping a person on life support is…

    Euthanasia, also known as death with honor or dignity is used to help patients who are suffering from a disease that cannot be cured. When doctors see no hope of cure in a patient’s health, the treatment becomes too painful euthanasia helps, in euthanasia doctors can drug the patient suffering with lethal and put them to sleep.. It is every human’s natural right to decide whether they wish to live or die, especially in the situation where there is no hope for cure.
