Assisted suicide: pity or murder? “If you truly believe in the value of life, you care about all the weakest and most vulnerable members of society. » This thought-provoking quote from Joni Eareckson Tada expresses a sense of obligation for society to assume the role of caretaker for those who cannot help their own health. In the relativity of physician-assisted suicide, the word “care” in the previous statement is defined as helping those who need it, in this case, with regard to life-threatening health issues. When analyzing this controversial topic, one must consider all aspects of the medical context as well as the ethical conviction associated with it. Should terminally ill patients be entitled to physician-assisted suicide simply to protect their civil liberties? Or is this option simply an invented method opposing the goal of doctors and the morality of civilization to scapegoat and devalue human life? Although, at first glance, physician-assisted suicide for critically ill patients appears to be a plausible remedy, deeper analysis reveals a practical perspective that this so-called final solution is morally and ethically wrong, given the responsibility of doctors, society and legislators. The technical ambition of doctors and physicians is purely to care for the patients they encounter. This common knowledge contributes to the obvious position opposing physician-assisted suicide, also known as euthanasia. There are several forms of euthanasia today. Some forms include a more commonly used phrase "pulling the plug" when a patient is in a vegetative state and the family or doctors must make the choice to pull the plug middle of paper...... This is about ethical values and morals that impact society today and over time. Not only are doctors' goals compromised by the proposal for active euthanasia, but also a religious and philosophical perspective. The practice of assisted suicide would undermine the accountability of civil law and permanently endanger its reason to protect and provide a just system. Even if one is not spiritually inclined or subject to moral or ethical beliefs, the practice of physician-assisted suicide promotes widespread abuse and influences society, devaluing human life in climatic ways. It is not about terminally ill patients having the civil liberty to choose life or death; it is a matter of moral principle that holds the community to a level of protection and responsibility. It is not a human option to trade ethical correctness for autonomy..
