Most Vermonters agree with a new law that allows terminally ill patients with less than six months to live to voluntarily end their own lives with self-administered medications. The law requires a 15-day waiting period after being prescribed the medications by two agreeing doctors and that the patient be a Vermont resident. Studies of similar laws in other states like Oregon and Washington found that while over 100 prescriptions for such medications were issued each year, most patients died naturally before ingesting them, allaying concerns about doctors undermining their role as healers or difficulties for families.

Meth
Methamphetamine can cause compulsive sexual behavior and increase the spread of sexually transmitted diseases by making users forgetful about condom use. It also leads to erectile dysfunction and inability to ejaculate. Additionally, meth causes severe delusions of insects crawling under the skin and lies to users by making them feel their body and mind are improved through increased heart rate, blood pressure and breathing, when it is actually harming them.

People sometimes present themselves differently online than in person for various reasons. They may do so to protect themselves, have fun by exploring different interests, or to deceive others. Presenting oneself differently can have both positive and negative consequences. Positively, people may feel freer to share their true thoughts. However, it can also lead to uncomfortable situations if one's true identity is discovered. Presenting a different identity online can also negatively impact others by allowing people to say hurtful comments anonymously that they would not say in person, which can create a climate of meanness or distrust.

What is Physician Assisted Death?
One may ask what is Physician Assisted Death, its the act of a physician intentionally providing a patient with the means necessary to commit suicide, which can include counseling about lethal doses of drugs, prescribing lethal doses or supplying the drugs.
Interesting Background About Physician Assisted Death
There are only 5 states where physician assisted death is legal ( Oregon, Washington, Montana, Vermont, California)
Oregon was the First State to allow Physician assisted Death on November 8, 1994
California was the most recent to legalize it on October 5, 2015
Montana is the only state where it could be mandated by court ruling for a physician to be able to proceed with assisting a patient to die.
The specific method in which assisted death is done in each state varies, but mainly involves a prescription from a licensed physician approved by the state in which the patient is a resident.
Difference Between Physician Assisted Death and Euthanasia
Although they may have similar goals, physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia differ
In Physician-Assisted Suicide:
The physician provides the necessary means or information
The patient performs the act
In Euthanasia: The physician performs the intervention
Euthanasia is defined as the act of bringing about the death of a hopelessly ill and suffering person in a relatively quick and painless way for reasons of mercy
Timeline of Physician Assisted Death
June 1997 - The U.S. Supreme Court rules that state laws banning physician-assisted suicide do not violate the Constitution in the case Washington v. Glucksberg. The court left the matter of the constitutionality of a right to a physician's aid in dying to the states.
October 27, 1997 - Oregon's Death with Dignity Act becomes law. Passed in a 1994 election with 51% of voters in favor, the law was delayed initially because U.S. District Judge Michael Hogan issued an injunction and then ruled it unconstitutional. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the ruling and the injunction was lifted when the U.S. Supreme Court referred the matter back to the state in 1997.
November 1998 - American pathologist and assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian, known as "Dr. Death," videotapes the death of Thomas Youk, submits it to CBS's 60 Minutes and it is broadcast on television. The airing prompts murder charges against Kevorkian, rather than assisted suicide charges, because Kevorkian injected the drug into Youk, who had Lou Gehrig's disease.
March 26, 1999 - Kevorkian is convicted of second degree murder and delivery of a controlled substance. He serves eight years of a 10 to 25 year sentence. November 4, 2008 - Washington's initiative, the Death with Dignity Act, is passed with 57.91% of voters in favor. March 5, 2009 - The Washington Death with Dignity Act goes into effect.

Euthanasia
Euthanasia involves terminating a human's life when they are suffering from a terminal illness and living in intolerable pain. It can be done through lethal injection, withdrawing life support, or allowing the patient to refuse treatment. There is an ethical debate around euthanasia, as some believe it relieves suffering while others view it as wrong or against their religion. The document outlines four types of euthanasia and discusses arguments for and against allowing the practice.

The document discusses the prescription drug abuse epidemic in the United States. It provides statistics showing the rise in overdose deaths from prescription painkillers between 1999 and 2008. Certain groups are more at risk of abusing or overdosing on these drugs. "Pill mills" dispensing prescription drugs with little oversight have flourished in Florida, fueling abuse in other states. Efforts are underway to address this crisis and crack down on pill mills.
Otc products
This document discusses over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and self-medication. It defines OTC drugs as medicines that can be purchased without a prescription, while prescription drugs require a doctor's prescription. Self-medication refers to treating common health problems with OTC drugs without medical supervision. The document outlines factors contributing to increased self-medication and differences in OTC drug regulations between countries like the US, UK, and India. It also notes health risks of mixing OTC drugs and alcohol and warns that self-medication can be dangerous without proper knowledge and precautions.
Euthanasia
Euthanasia refers to the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable disease or condition. It aims to prevent prolonged suffering and can be voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary. It is currently legal in some locations like the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Oregon, Washington, and Montana under certain conditions like being terminally ill with less than six months to live. While it remains controversial, proponents argue that as humans we should be able to choose how we die if incurably ill just as we can choose how to live.

This document discusses the opioid epidemic, including prescription painkillers and illicit drugs like heroin and fentanyl. It notes that opioid addiction can affect anyone and often starts with prescription drug use. Fentanyl is especially deadly as it is much more potent than heroin. The document advocates for medication-assisted treatment using drugs like methadone or buprenorphine to help people recover from addiction through medication and counseling. While some question just replacing one drug for another, medication-assisted treatment is considered the most effective approach supported by research evidence.

The laws vary significantly between allowing PAS in some circumstances and completely prohibiting it. Requirements for patients and physicians also differ in jurisdictions where PAS is legal.
Physician assisted suicide presentation
The document summarizes physician-assisted suicide in Oregon, the first US state to legalize it. In 1994, Oregon voters approved the Death with Dignity Act, though it faced legal challenges. Two studies in 1998 and 1999 found that very few terminally ill patients who requested lethal medication actually used it, with deaths from PAS representing around 0.05-0.09% of all deaths in Oregon. Patients who did use it were seeking autonomy over their condition and worried about pain and quality of life as their illness progressed. Over time, more patients requested lethal medication, though the gap grew between requests and actual usage.
Wix ethical
Physician-assisted suicide is a controversial issue that is only legal in five U.S. states. It allows terminally ill patients with less than six months to live to request lethal medication from their doctor to end their own lives. While some see it as giving patients control at the end of life, others argue it could encourage suicide or that terminally ill patients are not in a mental state to make such a decision. There are also concerns about how to protect vulnerable patients from being coerced into suicide. The document discusses the various perspectives on this complex issue and argues rules need to be put in place to allow physician-assisted suicide as an option while also protecting doctors' and patients' rights.

Should Physician-Assisted Suicide Be Legal?
In 1997, Oregon became the first state to enact the Death with Dignity Act (DWDA).
This act allows a person with a terminal illness to make the decision to end their own life with a
lethal medication prescribed by a physician. Since then, only four other states have legalized
physician-assisted suicide. I’m interested in this topic for two reasons. The first being I am
currently making a career change and going back to school for nursing. I ultimately want to
become a hospice nurse. I believe this is a very relevant topic in the field of providing comfort
care to terminally ill patients. The second reason is because my grandpa died of lung cancer and I
spent the majority of his last three months taking care of him. His time between diagnosis and
when he passed was very quick but also very painful. I can’t imagine if he had lived for another
year or more how difficult it would have been for him, myself, and my family. We never
discussed the option of physician-assisted suicide because it is not an option in the state of Ohio.
My grandpa had a passion for life and living it to the fullest. Knowing him well, I think if the
option had been available, it would have been something he would have considered. I wanted to
dive into this topic and find out why in the past eleven years this law has only been passed in five
states. So, I decided to do some research of my own to find out the answer to my question:
Should physician-assisted suicide be legal in every state?
When I started researching this topic, I found a lot of opposition. There are many reasons
people are against physician-assisted suicide. One being religious reasons. Religious
Roebuck 2
organizations argue that human life is sacred and someone ending their own life, no matter the
circumstances, is morally and spiritually wrong (“Right to Die” 2). The American Medical
Association also objects to physician-assisted suicide. They argue that physicians are meant to
heal not kill (2). Another argument states that allowing physician-assisted suicide would leave
people with mental and physical disabilities open to being coerced into ending their own lives. If
someone believes they may be a financial or physical burden on their family, they may be
tempted to consider physician-assisted suicide simply to relieve that burden. Some people think
instead of helping people die, doctors and policy makers should be working on improving end-
of-life care (2). There is also an argument that minorities have less access to health care and
receive less treatment as a result. This may make a pill to end their lives feel like the only option
for them. (2)
As far as support for this movement, well, there’s less of it. Supporters argue that if a
person has the right to refuse medical treatment, they should also have the rig ...

The document discusses New Mexico's End-of-Life Options Act, which legalized medical aid in dying (MAID) as of June 2021. It provides information on qualified individuals, healthcare providers, the capacity determination and prescribing process. Key aspects include that MAID is voluntary for patients and providers. Prescribers can be nurses or physicians assistants, and enrollment in hospice confirms a terminal diagnosis. The law aims to give terminally ill residents control over their end of life by allowing self-administered medication to bring about a peaceful death. Since taking effect, several hospices and healthcare systems have incorporated MAID while respecting conscientious objections.

It also discusses a related 2006 Supreme Court case upholding the law and euthanasia practices in Switzerland that allow "suicide tourism."

Proponents argue that individuals should be able to control their lives and death can relieve unbearable suffering. Opponents counter that taking a life is immoral, the practice is open to abuse, and it undermines the medical profession. The document then provides an overview of laws regarding assisted suicide in various countries and regions including the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, and parts of Europe. It notes places where assisted suicide is legal and illegal as well as differences in allowing passive vs active euthanasia.
