Assisted suicide has raised numerous debates and contentions in the healthcare field due to differing opinions and backgrounds. The proponents of assisted suicide argue that individuals have the right to die and could arrange with their physicians to terminate their lives if they find the pain and torture of their diseases unbearable. Such patients show the acceptance of their fatal condition and the readiness to die to avoid excessive suffering. However, the practice of physician-assisted suicide has raised numerous contentions regarding its ethical nature (Peled, Bickel, & Puchalski, 2017). This text compares and contrasts these opposing viewpoints and analyzes the strengths of such arguments. The study argues that assisted suicide has many useful purposes than the harm inflicted. Assisted suicide is opposed because it could lead to premature termination of life upon the request of the patient or other significant stakeholders in their life circles. However, euthanasia could benefit the patients that face the inevitability of death and the advent of excessive suffering. This approach would help to save the patients from the excruciating pain and psychological torture that they would have to endure before dying. In some cases, euthanasia could help chronically ill patients with permanent severe damages to the brain that affects their mental and motor skills. Such individuals could survive for a long duration under constant medical care. However, the efforts for treatment would be futile since such individuals have close to no chances of recovery and cannot recognize the elements or individuals in their environment (Peled, Bickel, & Puchalski, 2017). This aspect would lead to elevated healthcare costs for the family or carers of such individuals. Assisted suicide would be beneficial in such instances because it would help to end the suffering of the patients and financial strain on the family.
