Journal Article - Response 2 - Physician-Assisted Suicide

Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide is not a subject that I am too familiar with. However, the summary presented, highlighted well the main points of the article. The importance of preventing this service is clear. Individuals who suffer painful, debilitating diseases and infections for years and years may feel like this is the only way out, but giving them an option to quite is awful. It is even more awful to think that after legalizing this, health care providers would take advantage and view it as a cheaper and less painful treatment. There is still a lot of discrimination for people with disabilities going on, it is important to encourage these fighting patients to push forward to reach their objectives, not set back and give up. Initially when people find they have a tough illness, they feel like a problem to the family and are not emotionally stable. Better health care, jobs, home and community services should be looked at as the best solutions, not PAS. This article was very informative and stands strong with points against legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide. The summary written shows a good understanding from a reader, making me sure those points will be used well in future prompts.
