Euthanasia: the final analysis in America today many arguments are centered around the right to choose: the right for women to have and abortion, the right for gays to be allowed to raise children or to be legally married, and the right to physician assisted suicide. ( ) These arguments all have something to do with the individual having the right to make this choice, but what if they are unable to make this choice? Say for instance, a man was hit by an oncoming truck, and is being held alive by a machine, what will happen to him? Who will make the decision for him to live or to die? In most case’s it will be the physician. Well you may ask yourself why cant we choose, that is to die? If a person is terminally ill and has a quality of life so low that they do not have the will to go on, ( ) they are not given a c

( ) These people knowingly give their lives to help others. These people made a choice to die, and for that we call them heroes. Kevorkian’s patients make that same choice.( )

Suicide, by definition is the act of terminating one’s own life. ( ) People do it for many reasons: depression , illness, or mental instability. ( ) Those with a terminal illness see it as a way to end their suffering . This is their right. Doctors and healers everywhere have helped people put an end to their suffering and helped them die.
