Assisted Suicide: Rights And Individual Freedom
[ send me this paper ]
18 pages in length. If an individual is terminally ill, should the state or federal government interfere with a person's rights in taking his or her own life? The argument that has sent the world into a tailspin is whether or not people who are suffering from terminal or excruciatingly painful illness have the right to take their own lives with or without the help of physician-assisted suicide. Proponents contend that what one does with one's life is of no consequence to anyone else -- that it is not only humane to allow someone to be relieved of constant discomfort but also supported by the Constitution of the United States as a guarantee of freedom. On the other hand, critics claim that the act of euthanasia is nothing more than a fabricated form of murder. Both sides have pertinent points when it comes to understanding and assessing the conflict, but euthanasia supporters have a significantly stronger argument. There is no doubt that physician-assisted suicide is not only the right thing to do for someone seeking such a decision, but it is also ethical, humane and supported by constitutional rights.
