at the cost of mental clarity, and once dignity is lost to physical deterioration, the wish to end one’s life may be rational”(Solomon). People choosing to end their life with assisted suicide do not want to end their life. Terminally ill people simply want to end their life with dignity, and many people see assisted suicide as a last ditch effort to take their life into their own hands. Before attaining lethal medication the patient must exhaust all other medical options. The Death with Dignity…

In the event of assisted suicide or self defense the killing of a human being can be justified. The reality that one has fought for life rationalizes the killing of a man or woman. What must be considered remains what happened before the killing and the necessity of death. Recognizing the loss of life, assisted suicide grants a dignified death while self defense PROTECTS the innocent. Dismissing elongated agony, physicians carry out assisted suicide in order to maintain dignity for…

Physician-Assisted Suicide Is physician-assisted suicide different from suicide? Does a person have the right to take their own life? Is suicide acceptable if a person is in pain and their isn’t a cure for their condition? Physician-assisted suicide is often debated as whether it should be legal or illegal. Euthanasia, another term for this practice, means “good death,” but not everyone agrees with that statement (patientsrightscouncil.org). This practice has been around since the fifteenth…

Assisted suicide and death with dignity are interchangeable terms that all refer back to the same right vs. right ethical dilemma. For the purpose of this paper, it should be assumed that the patient that is requesting assistance is terminally ill, and they are asking their physician for a means to end their life.

In a society where euthanasia is legal, the “Law of the Jungle” takes effect. Basically, the “Law of the Jungle” is survival of the fittest. In a society where euthanasia is legal, people…

Physician Assisted Suicide Death is unavoidable, while many people die in different environments and for many different reasons (Bauchner & Fontanarosa, 2016, pp. 270-271). In 2014, roughly 55 million people died around the world, of those 2.6 million died in the United States (Bauchner & Fontanarosa, 2016, pp. 270-271).That is why physician assisted suicide is gaining traction by empowering patients to take control of the decision to end their life. This is a practice by which a competent…

Recently while spending a legally required weekend at my dad’s house, my dad received a text message from my step mom Crystal. The message read she was going to commit suicide! Frantically my dad jumped from his seat and shoved his feet into his boots, not bothering to lace them. On his way out the door he spun around and violently screamed “This is all of your fault!”. His words were piercing, breaking down and weakening the already fragile bond between him and I. Without uttering another word,…

Death is inevitable. Resisting his captivating lure is impractical. He will always come, preying on unsuspecting victims all the while instilling fear into humans everywhere. Nothing can be done, it's important for us to understand his imminent threat. Dwelling on the end, however, is meaningless. He will appear one day, perhaps when it's most inconvenient and steal us away to the looming afterlife. So, how can we avoid envisioning our demise? The answer may not be satisfactory, but instead…

Other decisions in healthcare blur the lines of bioethics. One such area is end of life care and whether to assist a terminally ill patient to die. The practice of assisted suicide has been given names such as "death with dignity" or "right to die" to make it more palatable to individuals. I will discuss how assisted suicide is against medical practices, legal rights, ethical standards for nurses and physicians, as well as biblical teaching; whereas, palliative sedation adheres to the ethical…
