This document summarizes an essay analyzing the economics behind physician-assisted suicide. It discusses how legalizing PAS could lead to significant cost savings in healthcare by avoiding expensive end-of-life care costs. It presents concerns that patients may feel pressure from healthcare providers, families, or themselves to choose PAS to save money. However, from an economic perspective, legalizing PAS respects individual choice and leads to more efficient allocation of limited healthcare resources. The document applies concepts like marginal costs and benefits, opportunity costs, and externalities to analyze the issue from an economic framework.
