If an individual's quality of life is terrible, they should have the right to stop suffering.” Many people live unhappy knowing that what they have is incurable. If assisted suicide is legal they can choose to do it and die in a peaceful way instead of waiting for their final day to come while they still suffer. People may also agree with this topic do to the “Pain and anguish of the patient's family and friends” which can be lessened, and they can say their final goodbyes.” (Messerli) It is just sad for the family to see one of their loved ones just lying down and suffering.
