I need help conducting a sort of poll on physician assisted suicide for school. So if you would please state if you are for or against and the reason why.

Thanks

People are going to die eventually, you shouldn't need a physician to help you kill yourself.

I guess?

I think it's funny because if someone attempted suicide and failed, they are instantly put on watch and sometimes placed in mental institutions. I honestly don't see how a physician assisted suicide being illegal would help, as it would be contradictory to the medical field's purpose.

For.

There is a point where life is more painful than death. If a person is competent to make the conscious decision of whether to die or not, then they should be allowed to be assisted in suicide. Someone who only lives in pain is only being tortured if forced to stay alive.

Not exactly, which is why I said I guess.

But I'm guessing it was okay, since I got a PM thanking me?

But it's whatever.

Against. It goes against an oath nurses, physician assistants, and physicians take.

if it was the op, that's a shame they took an opinion from someone who doesn't even know what it is.

physicians who do assisted suicides usually are like dr kevorkian. they assist with terminal patients who are dying, in pain, but not dead yet obviously. they are in unimaginable amounts of pain, they suffer on a daily basis, and they find no relief. they want to die. and they want to die with an ounce of dignity.

Ohhhhhhhhhh. Thank you :D
That changes everything then.
[Yea, it was from the OP]

I'm for it. If they're terminal, they're going to die any way. Best put them out of their misery, then make them suffer.

It is terrible to watch someone deteriorate to the point were they are just in limbo, suffering day in and day out.
