Physician Assisted Death
Alexandra Preston
HSA4431
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.

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 ...
Mental Health: Myths, Stigmas, and Public Policyprofessorgoff
This document summarizes key topics around the stigma of mental illness:
1. It discusses how stigma impacts those with mental illness and their families, exploring case studies of individuals like Frank and the feelings of having a mentally ill family member.
2. It examines myths around mental illness and violence, noting that only 7% of the untreated mentally ill are actually violent.
3. It raises important policy issues around who pays for treatment and housing of the mentally ill, noting many end up in prisons instead of receiving proper care.
The last thing most of us ever want to think about is our own death. But the fact is it comes to us
all, and sometimes sooner than expected.
Everyone dies with a to-do list, but if making your end of life plans is on that list, it can cause
chaos for your loved ones. However, this chaos can be avoided easily if you face facts and deal
with your end of life considerations now, in a practical way, rather than then in an emotional and
crisis-driven way.
There are several basic aspects to planning for your death that include what your wishes are in
relation to your health care, memorial arrangements and what is to be done with your body. The
other major considerations are to do with family finances. Who will be in charge of your estate -
that is, what you leave behind of value? How will your family be looked after once you are
gone? How can your estate be protected from excessive taxation?
Let’s start with planning ahead in terms of making your wishes known.

The Death of a Medical Oath
Assisted suicide is a highly controversial subject in an era where people expect to get what they want when they want it. Unfortunately, when citizens of this society are confronted with discomfort, they expect to find relief in a cure. Sadly, for some people there is no comfort, and a cure may not be available. Assisted suicide is what many people consider a feasible solution. Assisted suicide is the act of enabling a patient to end his or her life; usually, this process is made possible with a lethal dose of pentobarbital or secobarbital. This medication is taken orally, and the effects of this medication can occur anywhere from minutes to hours (Fess). Assisted suicide should have never been legalized in the United States because it is unethical for doctors to kill their patients, for government to permit suicide, and for doctors to predict the date of death; however, proponents of mercy killings believe that death should be an individual choice.
Doctors have always been held in high regards. Patients have come to trust their physician’s suggestions and diagnosis. Patients understand and have faith in the oath doctors take upon graduation. The Hippocratic Oath clearly states, “I will not play God.” A doctor who is permitted to prescribe a drug that is intended to end a life can be considered as holding a Godly role. This act breaks the very oath doctors have pledged to uphold. This level of hypocrisy leads to a breach of trust. A patient seeks their doctor for help as well as hope. Physicians delivering this death sentence on a slip of paper are nicely saying, “I don’t have a chance of helping you” (Sandburn). A physician who a patient feels cannot help him or her in any way, besides death, is not very comforting. Doctors should prevent families from coercing their burdensome loved ones into reluctantly accepting this death sentence. Patients suffering from the debilitating effects of depression can become easily influenced by family members whom have ulterior motives when they suggest assisted suicide. A family member drowning in debt and mourning for the loved one he or she once knew may come to see this option as viable. In Belgium, a study found that there was a shocking thirty-two percent of mercy killings preformed without the consent of the patients they were performed on (Kuo). Doctors without an oath create a scenario in which they become the final deciding factor in life and death. Assisted suicide gives doctors the legal ground necessary to play God. The only difference between doctors with this power and serial killers is that one in prosecuted and the other is praised.
The US Government will soon find that like so many other laws passed with honorable intentions, assisted suicide is a gateway to many loopholes for the case of legalized murder. Belgium allows term ...
The document discusses physician-assisted suicide laws in several US states. It provides details on:
1) The eligibility requirements for patients seeking physician-assisted suicide, including being terminally ill with less than 6 months to live, mentally competent, and a resident of Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Montana or New Mexico.
2) The process patients must go through, including making two oral requests 15 days apart, a written request, and a 48-hour waiting period before receiving a prescription.
3) Perspectives on the debate around physician-assisted suicide laws, with supporters arguing for patient autonomy and relieving suffering, and opponents like the Catholic Church believing it devalues life.
This document provides definitions and explanations of various types of advance health care directives, including living wills, durable power of attorney for health care, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders, and organ donation. It explains that advance directives are legal documents that allow individuals to specify their wishes for medical treatment and assign a health care proxy if they become unable to make decisions. A living will provides instructions for life-sustaining treatment if terminally ill or permanently unconscious, while DNR orders indicate a wish not to receive life-prolonging treatment when close to death. Durable power of attorney appoints a health care agent to make decisions on one's behalf. Organ donation allows individuals to donate organs or tissues upon
The document discusses gun control policy in the United States. It argues that there is a gun problem in the country, with too many people obtaining guns, especially those with high power, and using them to harm others, whether criminally or due to mental health issues. The author believes the best solution is a compromise between those advocating for more or less gun legislation. Specifically, the author supports requiring gun safety courses, registering and licensing guns, storing guns unloaded and locked, and conducting background checks and mental health evaluations for would-be gun owners. However, the author acknowledges there may never be a perfect solution that completely prevents harm since determined individuals will find ways to cause harm regardless of policies.
This document defines consent and discusses sexual assault and rape. It provides definitions for consent, rape, and assault by penetration. It notes that consent must be freely given and that sex without consent is a criminal offense. Statistics about rape are presented, such as that 5 in 6 rapes of women are committed by someone known to the victim. The consequences of being accused of rape are outlined. The document discusses what consent means, how to ask for consent, and provides resources for support.
This document discusses advance directives, which allow individuals to express their wishes for future medical care if they become unable to do so. It describes durable power of attorney for healthcare, which appoints an agent to make medical decisions, living wills which outline end-of-life wishes, and pre-hospital DNR orders. It provides information on how to complete these documents legally and recommends storing copies with family, physicians, and carrying a wallet card for emergency personnel. Advance directives help ensure an individual's right to informed decisions about their own medical care.

Prescription Drug Misuse Legal ConsequencesTeresa Miller
This document discusses the legal consequences of illegally using prescription medications. It explains that prescription drugs are classified into schedules by the DEA based on their medical use and abuse/addiction potential. Schedule I drugs like heroin have no accepted medical use and high abuse potential, while Schedule IV drugs like Xanax have a lower abuse potential. Convictions for illegally using or possessing prescription drugs can result in jail time, fines, and a criminal record, with penalties increasing for factors like proximity to schools or having prior offenses. Having a criminal record can limit future career, education, housing, and volunteer opportunities. The document stresses that abusing prescription drugs can lead to addiction and other illegal activities to obtain drugs.

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 ...
Mental Health: Myths, Stigmas, and Public Policyprofessorgoff
This document summarizes key topics around the stigma of mental illness:
1. It discusses how stigma impacts those with mental illness and their families, exploring case studies of individuals like Frank and the feelings of having a mentally ill family member.
2. It examines myths around mental illness and violence, noting that only 7% of the untreated mentally ill are actually violent.
3. It raises important policy issues around who pays for treatment and housing of the mentally ill, noting many end up in prisons instead of receiving proper care.
The last thing most of us ever want to think about is our own death. But the fact is it comes to us
all, and sometimes sooner than expected.
Everyone dies with a to-do list, but if making your end of life plans is on that list, it can cause
chaos for your loved ones. However, this chaos can be avoided easily if you face facts and deal
with your end of life considerations now, in a practical way, rather than then in an emotional and
crisis-driven way.
There are several basic aspects to planning for your death that include what your wishes are in
relation to your health care, memorial arrangements and what is to be done with your body. The
other major considerations are to do with family finances. Who will be in charge of your estate -
that is, what you leave behind of value? How will your family be looked after once you are
gone? How can your estate be protected from excessive taxation?
Let’s start with planning ahead in terms of making your wishes known.

The Death of a Medical Oath
Assisted suicide is a highly controversial subject in an era where people expect to get what they want when they want it. Unfortunately, when citizens of this society are confronted with discomfort, they expect to find relief in a cure. Sadly, for some people there is no comfort, and a cure may not be available. Assisted suicide is what many people consider a feasible solution. Assisted suicide is the act of enabling a patient to end his or her life; usually, this process is made possible with a lethal dose of pentobarbital or secobarbital. This medication is taken orally, and the effects of this medication can occur anywhere from minutes to hours (Fess). Assisted suicide should have never been legalized in the United States because it is unethical for doctors to kill their patients, for government to permit suicide, and for doctors to predict the date of death; however, proponents of mercy killings believe that death should be an individual choice.
Doctors have always been held in high regards. Patients have come to trust their physician’s suggestions and diagnosis. Patients understand and have faith in the oath doctors take upon graduation. The Hippocratic Oath clearly states, “I will not play God.” A doctor who is permitted to prescribe a drug that is intended to end a life can be considered as holding a Godly role. This act breaks the very oath doctors have pledged to uphold. This level of hypocrisy leads to a breach of trust. A patient seeks their doctor for help as well as hope. Physicians delivering this death sentence on a slip of paper are nicely saying, “I don’t have a chance of helping you” (Sandburn). A physician who a patient feels cannot help him or her in any way, besides death, is not very comforting. Doctors should prevent families from coercing their burdensome loved ones into reluctantly accepting this death sentence. Patients suffering from the debilitating effects of depression can become easily influenced by family members whom have ulterior motives when they suggest assisted suicide. A family member drowning in debt and mourning for the loved one he or she once knew may come to see this option as viable. In Belgium, a study found that there was a shocking thirty-two percent of mercy killings preformed without the consent of the patients they were performed on (Kuo). Doctors without an oath create a scenario in which they become the final deciding factor in life and death. Assisted suicide gives doctors the legal ground necessary to play God. The only difference between doctors with this power and serial killers is that one in prosecuted and the other is praised.
The US Government will soon find that like so many other laws passed with honorable intentions, assisted suicide is a gateway to many loopholes for the case of legalized murder. Belgium allows term ...
The document discusses physician-assisted suicide laws in several US states. It provides details on:
1) The eligibility requirements for patients seeking physician-assisted suicide, including being terminally ill with less than 6 months to live, mentally competent, and a resident of Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Montana or New Mexico.
2) The process patients must go through, including making two oral requests 15 days apart, a written request, and a 48-hour waiting period before receiving a prescription.
3) Perspectives on the debate around physician-assisted suicide laws, with supporters arguing for patient autonomy and relieving suffering, and opponents like the Catholic Church believing it devalues life.
This document provides definitions and explanations of various types of advance health care directives, including living wills, durable power of attorney for health care, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders, and organ donation. It explains that advance directives are legal documents that allow individuals to specify their wishes for medical treatment and assign a health care proxy if they become unable to make decisions. A living will provides instructions for life-sustaining treatment if terminally ill or permanently unconscious, while DNR orders indicate a wish not to receive life-prolonging treatment when close to death. Durable power of attorney appoints a health care agent to make decisions on one's behalf. Organ donation allows individuals to donate organs or tissues upon
The document discusses gun control policy in the United States. It argues that there is a gun problem in the country, with too many people obtaining guns, especially those with high power, and using them to harm others, whether criminally or due to mental health issues. The author believes the best solution is a compromise between those advocating for more or less gun legislation. Specifically, the author supports requiring gun safety courses, registering and licensing guns, storing guns unloaded and locked, and conducting background checks and mental health evaluations for would-be gun owners. However, the author acknowledges there may never be a perfect solution that completely prevents harm since determined individuals will find ways to cause harm regardless of policies.
This document defines consent and discusses sexual assault and rape. It provides definitions for consent, rape, and assault by penetration. It notes that consent must be freely given and that sex without consent is a criminal offense. Statistics about rape are presented, such as that 5 in 6 rapes of women are committed by someone known to the victim. The consequences of being accused of rape are outlined. The document discusses what consent means, how to ask for consent, and provides resources for support.
This document discusses advance directives, which allow individuals to express their wishes for future medical care if they become unable to do so. It describes durable power of attorney for healthcare, which appoints an agent to make medical decisions, living wills which outline end-of-life wishes, and pre-hospital DNR orders. It provides information on how to complete these documents legally and recommends storing copies with family, physicians, and carrying a wallet card for emergency personnel. Advance directives help ensure an individual's right to informed decisions about their own medical care.

Prescription Drug Misuse Legal ConsequencesTeresa Miller
This document discusses the legal consequences of illegally using prescription medications. It explains that prescription drugs are classified into schedules by the DEA based on their medical use and abuse/addiction potential. Schedule I drugs like heroin have no accepted medical use and high abuse potential, while Schedule IV drugs like Xanax have a lower abuse potential. Convictions for illegally using or possessing prescription drugs can result in jail time, fines, and a criminal record, with penalties increasing for factors like proximity to schools or having prior offenses. Having a criminal record can limit future career, education, housing, and volunteer opportunities. The document stresses that abusing prescription drugs can lead to addiction and other illegal activities to obtain drugs.

1. Petition:
• If you take psychiatric drugs or you do not bring in your medical records with an
update physical to prove that you have no medical imbalance for a drug that would
help you get through life without the rage that medicine and psychiatrists could help
give quality of life.
Notice:
With this information you may apply purchase a gun/weapon.
Your rights under the second amendment = the right to bear arms
Without this information you to purchase a gun/weapon or have a gun/weapon
carry permit
• Cannot buy a Gun/weapon; cannot have/obtain a carry permit for the Gun/weapon
that you own.
Notes of reason:
I do not believe in banning by our 2nd amendment rights. However I do propose that changing how one
is able to get a weapon of any kind is a reasonable starting place;
Have you ever sat in the waiting room while some one apply for a carry permit, or have you ever
watched someone give information to buy a weapon of choice!
This is how it goes so humor me,
These people are on a mind altering Drug or medicine in line for
Gun carry permit or to purchase Gun
They were asked these questions after filling the paper work out
Do you take any psychiatric drugs? NO! (They lied!)
Are you under any medical care? NO! (They lied!)
They cannot get caught at this; because there is not a Law that reads;” brings your medical records” or
they click on a computer to find out the truth about their mental problems.
They all walked out with their carry permit or there Gun/Weapon
,
How many people that have been involved in killing did the same? How many lives could had been save
by doing two things by the seller
Go get a driver’s license! Look at the info you need;
Go to the Doctor with a real problem! You cannot get a pill
If you do get a pill there are computers talking about you
• how many Doctors you see how many Pharmacy’s you visit;
Foreign Countries had their weapons taken away, they lost their country; sorry to say there
will come a day that one wishes it never happened to USA! GOD forbids that it would
happen.
Seems like a great platform to run on for election when all want to ban something that others oppose; (a
start for your work)
So please sign my petition! For the things that will matter without hurting our 2nd amendment I took
time to read yours; but I feel that if you have issues mental issues you don’t have a right to buy or carry
a weapon!
• My son was killed at the age of 16 by a gun from a mental challenged person; I do not say ban
Guns, Change to fit the need.
Talk with me! GOD, Country, Family; just as you
