physician assisted suicide has been heavily debated. Should it be legal to terminate one’s own life, with the aid of a physician, because they have been afflicted by a terminal illness? One should have the option to not suffer months of agonizing pain, but leave their life with dignity.

The American Revolution prompted Thomas Jefferson to declare that rights were “self-evident” in the Declaration of Independence.…

Not until the 1980’s, the only treatment option for a terminally ill patient was minimizing the pain during their final months. Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who is credited for inventing one of the first assisted suicide machines, is responsible for opening up the debate about physician assisted suicide.
