11. Running Head: PHYSICIAN ASSISTED SUICIDE
1
PHYSICIAN ASSISTED SUICIDE

Physician Assisted Suicide
Physician-Assisted Suicide
With physician-assisted suicide, a medical practitioner
prescribes a deadly drug which the patient administers
him/herself. Activists in America have historically advocated
both physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia because the two
almost have the same meaning. By definition, euthanasia is
derived from two ancient Greek words: eu, which means
“good,” and Thanatos, which means “death.” Meaning the act of
committing suicide with the aid of a physician. (WCU, 2018)
Euthanasia breaks down into passive and active: active
euthanasia is defined as administering a lethal dose to an
individual suffering from a terminal illness. Whereas, passive
euthanasia is not terminating the individual’s life instantly
12. however it is shortening the lifespan by withholding the
medications used to keep this person alive or prolonging their
lifespan. (WCU,2018) The arguments for euthanasia are equal
arguments for physician-assisted suicide. According to Neil
Gorsuch, some contemporary activists criticize the movement
for their dishonesty about where its argument lead. He further
claimed that legal theorists and Professor Richard Epstein have
charged the people who advocate assisted suicide because of
their failure to endorse the legalization of euthanasia (Battin,
2015).
However, in both assisted suicide and euthanasia, those
who are able to self-administer the deadly drugs should be
offered the chance for hastened death. Medical practitioners are
not allowed to administer the drug through lethal injection. In
such a case, the doctor will have violated the professional laws
and ethics and this will result in judgment.
Physician-assisted suicide has been made legal in the
following four countries: Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands,
and Luxembourg. Netherlands has an experience of
approximately 30 years and during all that time, they have been
unable to control the behavior. Based on surveys, doctors
intentionally administer lethal injections without the consent of
the patients (Pence, 2017). No one has been able to report such
incidences to the authority.
In 2015, the District of Columbia and other 18 state
legislatures are considering whether to legalize physician-
assisted suicide. However, legalizing the act will have a huge
negative impact on society. This is because of the following
reasons: it will destroy the doctor-patient relationship and
corrupt the practice of medicine, it will betray human dignity
and equality, it will endanger the vulnerable group and the
weak, and lastly, it will compromise the family.
After the legalization of physician-assisted suicide by
Oregon in 1977, an approximate of 700 people have terminated
their lives with prescribed medication (Sulmasy & Mueller,
2017). An example of these people is Brittany Maynard who
13. took his life at the age of 19 because he suffered from an
incurable brain tumor. There are people who have been
supporting the act while others are completely against it. The
advocates believe that people should be given the right to die if
they choose to do so while the opponents argue that physician-
assisted suicide devalues human life.
Reasons for and against Physician-Assisted Suicide
The debate over the legality and morality of physician-
assisted suicide has been in progress for quite some time. The
discussions have lasted for hundreds of years and there are no
signs of ending. The opponents of physician assisted suicide
argue that people should never have a reason to seek physician-
assisted suicide due to the fact that there is a model for quality
end-of-life care. These healthcare services are available through
palliative and hospice care programs. Therefore, people should
aim at improving access to hospice care rather than legalizing
physician-assisted suicide.
In the United States of America, there are more than 4000
hospice agencies but due to the rigidity of the Medicare Hospice
Benefit and also funding restrictions, a lot of people in the
country cannot access them. The patients are required by the
Medicare Hospice Benefit to have a life expectancy of utmost
six months. The counter-argument for this is that regardless of
the improved access to quality end-of-life care, patients will
still suffer from untreatable and persistent illnesses. In Oregon,
93% of the patients who opted for physician-assisted suicide
was on hospice. The implication of this is that palliative and
hospice care are not sufficient to deal with severe suffering.
Secondly, in the opinion of Bouvia v. Superior Court (CA),
it was determined that the right to die is an essential part of
people’s right to control their own lives and destinies provided
the rights of others are not affected. This is referred to as
patient autonomy. Since patient-assisted suicide is not a
completely autonomous act, the assistance of another person is
required. Opponents argue that the act of intentionally
terminating patients’ lives threaten society by devaluing human
14. life. The society should, therefore, preserve the sanctity of life.
The third argument is that the legalization of physician-
assisted suicide will lead to an increase in euthanasia. In other
words, physician assisted suicide is a slippery slope towards
euthanasia (mercy killing) (Pormeister, Finley, & Rohack,
2017). People’s lives will be terminated without their consent
provided they are suffering. They include individuals who are
physically handicapped, people with mental illness, homeless,
elderly, and demented. The above individuals are considered
useless in society. The counter-argument is that the slippery
slope should never be allowed to happen.
Violation of the Hippocratic Oath is another reason against
physician-assisted suicide. According to the Hippocratic Oath,
the obligation of a physician is primum non nocere, which
means “first, do no harm.” physician assisted suicide, therefore,
contradicts the oath because intentional killing is considered as
a harm. The counter-argument of this is that the Hippocratic
Oath should be interpreted and modified depending on the needs
of patients.
In addition, opponents argue that there are morally ethical
and legal alternatives to assisted death. Patients may decide not
to undergo treatment and this increases their chance of death.
The counter-argument is that many people do not depend on
life-sustaining measures to still suffer and live (Pires, 2018).
Withholding treatment will prolong the patient’s suffering
rather than causing death.
My Opinion
Based on the above arguments, physician-assisted suicide
is not good and should be avoided. This is because terminating
patients’ lives does not end suffering but extends the suffering
to other people with the same problems. They fear that they will
also be considered worthless and experience the same. People
who have been assisted to die have no freedom of choice.
Legalizing suicide only undermines the willingness of medical
practitioners and the society to learn how to address the
problems of patients and show real compassion.
15. In countries were suicide is permitted, patients request the
lethal drugs not because of the pain they are going through but
because of concerns such as “becoming a burden on others” and
“loss of dignity.” These attitudes are encouraged by the law.
Healthcare facilities should, therefore, provide services to
patients that will assure them that they are important and have
dignity. They should discourage the feeling of being a burden
within them.
In addition, patients in extreme duress tend to prefer death
to life. However, allowing doctors to participate in assisting
suicide would lead to more harm than benefits. Physician-
assisted suicide is against the roles and responsibilities of a
physician as a healer. This would be impossible or difficult to
control and would lead to serious societal risks.
Legalizing physician-assisted suicide will have a number
of profoundly detrimental effects. It reduces the protection
offered to people’s lives. It also encourages the killing of
people who do not genuinely accept to be killed. In other words,
it leads to an increase in euthanasia. Lastly, doctors should not
have the right to determine who should live and who should die.
Socrates believed that suicide is morally wrong. This is a slope
where they assume the position of God. As humans, we have no
power over other people’s lives. God is the giver of life and He
should be the same being to take it away. It is a sin to terminate
the life of patients regardless of what they are experiencing in
life. (WCU, 2018)
Conclusion
In conclusion, physician-assisted suicide is the tendency of
doctors to prescribe deadly drugs for patients with serious
terminal diseases. Unlike euthanasia, physician assisted suicide
allows the patients to administer the drugs themselves.
However, this has been debated over time. Some people are
completely against it while others are in full support of it. The
proponents believe that physician-assisted suicide is a sign of
mercy while opponents argue that human life is valuable and
should be respected. I believe that no one has the right to decide
16. who should live and who should not because God is in control
of people’s lives.

The perfect food for a child is breastmilk. Mothers
naturally produce breast milk. Breast were specifically designed
for the soul purpose to breastfeed their children. For mothers
choosing to breastfeed is one of their hardest of many decisions.
29. There are an outrageous number of positive and negatives that
come along with breastfeeding, that is why it is so difficult for
them to decide. According to many surveys the negatives tend
to outweigh the positives when it comes to breastfeeding.
When it comes to the decision of breastfeeding or bottle
feeding the biggest question that comes along with it is which is
healthier? Either or is healthy but health experts agree that
breastfeeding is better for both the mother and the infant. There
are many reassuring benefits that comes with breastfeeding like,
It will create a special bond between the mother and the child,
breastmilk has all the nutrients babies need to grow and develop
healthy, breastmilk has antibodies that will help strengthen
immune systems helping fight against common colds,
sicknesses, diseases, and it is very beneficial for both the
mother and child to strengthen the child’s immune system at
such a young age, it can prevent health problems for the child
like allergies, eczema, ear infections, stomach problems,
breastfeeding babies are less likely to get breathing infections,
less likely to become obese or have diabetes. Breastfeeding can
help percent sudden infant death syndrome. Mothers tend to lose
weight faster if they have breastfed, breastfeeding may also
help lower the risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Breastfeeding
is also convenient for the mothers because they naturally
produce it, it is always available when ever the child is hungry,
and of course it is free when the average amount of money spent
on formula is 1,000 dollars a year. Also, you do not have to
watch what you eat when breastfeeding because the food you eat
does not digest in the breast milk so no matter what your diet is
healthy or unhealthy your child will always have a healthy diet
while feeding with breast milk.
Of course, there are always a negative side of anything and
everything. The breastmilk itself has no negative side effects its
what comes along with it. It is the people that come up with the
negative side about breastfeeding. There is a huge controversy
with breastfeeding in public, the people the see it or are in the
presents of a mother breastfeeding usually state that they are
30. uncomfortable and that the mother should go in a more secluded
area. This is one of the many reasons why mothers choose not to
breastfeed. We now view breasts as a more private and sexual
area on a women, which that’s exactly what they are but, what
should come to mind instead of that thought is that a mother is
feeding her child in the best and healthiest way with the breasts
that were designed for the specific purpose to breastfeed.
There are some negatives that come along side of
breastfeeding. You have to feed your baby about every 1 ½
hours to 3 hours if you breastfeed, if you bottle feed it takes a
lot longer for the baby to digest it. This can be very
inconvenient for the mother because what happens when they
get hungry out in public, or running errands, or while you are
trying to get work done. this may seem like a big inconvenience
but you must always remember and look at the hidden advantage
and that is, you are then kind of “forced” to spend quality time
with your baby, you also get some breaks within the day to just
sit and recoup yourself. Another side effect of breast feeding is
it can be difficult trying to figure out exactly how much milk
the child has gotten. In the beginning this can be hard to figure
out but along the way you will easily be able to tell and figure
out exactly how much your baby needs and how much they are
taking. Also remember that you can always pump out the breast
milk and always have them to go so you don’t have to take the
break out in public, on errands, or in the worst times possible.
There are also diet restrictions, of course what ever you eat the
baby is eating, so you must stay healthy and not only think
about you and your health but your baby’s health. The positive
side of that is that it will help you stay on a well dieted diet,
which can lead to weight loss, feelings better, etc. There are
some physical problems that the mother is going to have to deal
with, like sore nipples, crackled nipples, engorged breasts,
breast infections, and blocked milk ducts, and a change in your
breast shape. You could also pass infection son to the child and
that is why it is so important to stay as healthy as you can.
Nipple leaks are also common when breastfeeding which could
31. be another inconvenience because we are infants and don’t
bring a change of clothes everywhere we go. Another negative
that could come along with breastfeeding is that the father could
feel left out, or could feel like he will never get that same bond
with the baby as the mother, or that he doesn’t get to feed his
child. There are always negatives to positives that why you have
to remember the positives once you realize the negatives,
because in this case, the positives should always beat the
negatives.
