Death is not something that people like to dwell on, especially their own. Assisted suicide is a topic of controversy in many regions. This refers to suicide that is committed with the support, such as information and supplies, of physicians. Sometimes this is called physician aided death and the doctors who do it intentionally provide their patients with the means to kill themselves.
Aided death may be done in more than one way. Often it involves doctors giving counsel on drug dosage that is lethal. Sometimes this is taken further by the doctors prescribing or supplying the dosage to a patient. This type of aid is not the same as mercy killings or euthanasia, both cases in which the doctors actually give the patients the lethal dosage.
This must be requested and agreed to by the patient. They are expected to do what is necessary to end their life. Many people are interested in this practice. In fact, a lot of people choose it. This brings about discussion on many topics, including religion, ethics, society, law and morals because this is related to murder and suicide.
It may be difficult for some people to understand why a person would want to die this way. Often times, the people who request these services have chronic or life-limiting illnesses. They might have no more hope that they will get better and want to take control over their lives again. Additionally, they may feel a lot of discomfort and physical pain that cannot be fixed through the methods available in modern medicine. Requesting an aided death might be their only solution for regaining control. That is, they want to have control over how and when their life ends.
This is considered legal in some areas of the world, such as Australia, Columbia and Japan. However, in many more places it is illegal and controversial. People suffering and in pain might see this as their one and only option. Sometimes they even welcome the death, regardless of what their loved ones might think or want.
People in these situations often want a better life, but do not see it happening. They are discouraged and often dealing with major pain and suffering. It can be frustrating to feel as if they have no options for care, and that they will not life a happier or longer life. In fact, the life expectancy for many of these people is short and they would rather not wait in pain to die.
Opponents often note medical ethics, prejudices against disabled, roles of medical physicians, slippery slope argument, public safety and religious ethics. It is recommended that people learn all that they can about this by doing their research. Numerous resources provide information on the topic, including the arguments placed by opponents and proponents. The stories of people who have chosen this may also be used for educational purposes.
It is important that people become knowledgeable on the topic before they form a stance. There are some who will disagree and others who see no problem. People who oppose this may not be familiar with the struggles, both physical and mental, that people making this decision deal with daily. They are usually terminally and chronically ill. Suicide can be a hard thing to accept.
