project I am going to be talking about the case of assisted suicide. I have done plenty of research from scholarly and trust worthy websites, articles, books, (etc.) A patient who is suffering from an incurable disease, should have the right to end his or her suffering.

Suicide bombing is a spark in a field of dry grass. “The Koran forbids the ones taking one’s own life and this prohibition is still generally observed”.(Brooks 175) What makes them want to go die for there country as well as for there religion? David brookes clearly answered this question in the passage “The culture of Martyrdom: how suicide Bombing Became Not Just a Means but an End”.

The controversy of assisted suicide has taken a huge effect on our society; that has not always been legal in the United States until now with six states allowing it. Assisted suicide should be legalized in the United States because it offers terminally ill patients the right to end their life of treatments and allows them death with dignity, financial motivation under healthcare to kill themselves is a cheaper alternative to medical treatment, and alleviate the pain with families pain and…
