    For years many patients have wanted to end their pain and suffering that their terminal illness has cause. This article shows many pros and cons to Physician assisted suicide. Dr. Jack Kevorkian began this conquest for the approval of physician assisted suicide and many people still fight for the approval of physician assisted suicide.

    This article talks about a doctor who assisted a patient to release lethal drugs in her body in attempt for suicide. However, the doctor was tried for second degree murder and was sentenced to jail for nine years. The judge refused to hear arguments from the patient's family.

    This article talks about Oregon's Death with Dignity Act passed in 1997. It reviews your personal freedom to die at a time & place of your choice if your facing a terminal illness.

    This is a great article. I believe that a person who is facing a fatal debilitating illness should be able to die peacefully and with as much dignity as possible. It should be a personal choice how, where and with whom you die.

    I agree that this is a good article. I wrote a paper last year on this topic. Its very interesting and there are many articles that describe the pros and cons. I also believe it is a right to be able to die when a person is in such pain and bad health.

    Very good article and very forward thinking. It's good to see states are taking an interest and putting legislation into place to protect a terminally ill person's right to die with diginity.

    This content of this article gives me mixed feelings. I agree mostly on the side of helping miserable suffering people end their lives without pain. On the other hand i feel bad for families that would have to be going through this and it almost makes me feel like the person tired of living might be slightly selfish? At the same time, there are some terribly painful illness' that no one should have to go through.

    The article was different and to the point. Choices of an individual that is suffering from his or her own terminal illness should have their choice on what they want to do in their final days.
  • Destini Boorman on 02 Sep 13
     
    I think this is an awesome article, and a very important law. I would cautiously compare it to the living will statement of "Do not resuscitate." Last wishes should always be respected regardless of what anyone else may think. As long as it is within the bounds of compassion and humanity I find nothing wrong with choosing how one wants to exit life.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    This article was very interesting and I have to say I agree with the right to be able to choose the time and place you will die. The way your life ends (if you can control it) is a very civil and peaceful freedom we should all be allowed to take advantage of.
  • Latisha Brown on 02 Sep 13
     
    This was a good article, but I have to agree with Alexis, I have mixed feelings as well. I personally don't agree with assisted suicide. To me, suicide is suicide, and I feel that people should die in the natural way.
  • Rick Gordon on 02 Sep 13
     
    This is surprising to see in the way that it has been kept underground and has had successful results. Although it is not surprising that many terminally ill patients would opt for this.
  • Brandon Charette on 02 Sep 13
     
    This article is a tough one. I agree with everything everyone is saying, but initially it is about the person who is suffering. If one of my family members were suffering with an illness that unfortunately ended with an early death and they were in horrible pain, I would rather tem be at peace and end their suffering if it is what they wanted.

    The issue of whether or not patients have a right to die is explored, as well as whether or not those who help such people should be considered murderers. It gives anecdotes about family members who could not bear to see their loved ones suffer, and offers opinions on both sides of the issue.

    This article touches on the debate of assisted suicide. Some people are pro, believing that once one has lost their quality of life they should be able to make the decision to end their own(with assistance, since, for whatever reason, they are unable to commit suicide on their own). Other people are against assisted suicide, believing there are situations where it would go against personal moral codes of doctors or nurses, or that the person pleading to die may change his/her mind and it will be too late.

    This period of destabilization can result in a serious setback to the progress that the patient has made when properly medicated. As their behaviors become increasingly troublesome to others, these people risk alienating their support systems, and they jeopardize the scarce resources that have been arranged for them.

November, 2002 The purpose of this article is to set forth just the basic legal principles, underpinnings and practices employed in the widespread use of legal force to compel unwilling patients into locked psychiatric hospitals and, most importantly, force brain damaging drugs and other brain damaging treatments such as Electroshock upon them over their desperate, but hopeless objections.

    Sex reassignment surgery is for both transsexuals and transgender people who want to change their sex by the means of a surgical procedure. A lot of steps need to be taken before such a procedure is done. Everything from psychological testing to hormone therapy is required. Most patients are happy with their surgery but admit that it does not help them function better psychologically.
