Medicine today is making a progress trying to cure different type of terminally ill sickness, As they are trying to make progress towards the goal of curing that illness the cost of health care insurance it on the rise. With the cost of health care insurance rising it's also causing people to look for an alternative to solve the problem. The main solution that is rising to many people in the present day is physician- assisted suicide. As one know along with every solution there are pros and cons of that solution. Physician-assisted suicide has become society's greatest ethical quandary in our present day.
Some of the pros of making physician-assisted suicide legal is that everyone has the choice on how they die when they are terminally ill. many patients that choose to have physician-assisted suicide is because they feel as though they should die with some dignity. Another reason why it should be legalize is because many families can't afford the cost of keeping a terminally ill person alive and well or even afford the end of life care that people who are terminally ill able to attain.
Now on the flip side of life, there are many cons to this type of solution to death. The first con is that many doctors bring up is that it goes against the HIPPA oath that all doctors must follow. The reason behind the HIPPA oath is that the doctor is suppose to try it's hardest to use all measures to find a cure. Another con is we all would like to believe that all doctors are in their chosen profession because they love it and want to do good towards mankind. In honest truth there will always be a couple of bad apples in a bad that can turn the rest of the bag bad also. For that reason there are some doctors that in it for the money and would rather just use terminally ill people to cash in on the money which would then lead to rise in terminally ill people dying.
In conclusion trying to make physician-assisted suicide legal will come up against many roadblocks before it ever becomes legal in the USA. Also that sometimes the pros can out way the cons or even the cons can out way the pros by a landslide. So let's just keep on holding to our seats with a tight grip waiting for the next step. Will it be pass or not? We will wait and see.
