What Do You Feel About Physician Assisted Suicide?

Tweet

Physician assisted suicide is still illegal in most places in the U.S. to my knowledge. Many chronically and/or terminally ill embrace it as a viable/defensible option. I used to be in the school of thought that considered it, but I no longer do. The terminally ill are dying anyway, rushing the process along deprives them of precious time with loved ones. I believe my grandpa Donald (who was in hospice for kidney failure) was euthanized by his doctors, because they weren't optimistic about a recovery. Knowing what I know about Donald, he would have wanted to stick around as long as he could. If his Dr's did take his life,they probably thought they were doing a favor, he would have considered it anything but.
