I'm a first year med student looking at the effect that media coverage of health issues has on patients, and how this may influence their views on certain matters. Primarily, this research is focusing on Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS) and the media attention it has gathered over the last few months. I may take comments or sections of comments to include in an essay, but everything will be strictly confidential and nothing will be remotely traceable. Any comments are welcome, please be honest with your opinion. To get started, the recent media coverage of the debate on PAS has led me to think hard about where I stand on the subject, and it has led me to realise that, depending on individual circumstance, I would be in favour of legalising PAS. Thanks, x
Has the recent media coverage of the debate on physician assisted suicide changed the way you view euthanasia?
I am in AP English and my teacher does not like be verbs in our paper and there are a couple sentences that I cannot get rid of the be verbs in. Help me out? "Euthanasia is, in fact, just a faster way of progressing towards the enevitable death." "The act of euthanasia is not considered a malicious act against humankind." "Twenty percent of all the physician-assisted suicides that were recorded are known as involuntary euthanasia, but what about the other eighty percent carried out by the consent of the patient?" Thank you so much! - Jon, the paper is 4 pages long. It would be too long to post as a question. would you be open to me emailing it to you so you can help me? It would be majorly appreciated :)

To live or not to live Although physician assisted suicide is a very controversial topic, it should be allowed because people who are suffering in a terminal situation should not have to suffer. You have been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this is not in any way a pleasant way to die. You have constant pain all through the night this also leads to no sleep. You can hardly sleep, eat or even think because the pain is so overwhelming that it takes you over. The pain is not just overwhelming it is also constant it seems to never leave your body the doctor prescribes you every pain medication that is physically possible. You have bed sores that are hurting all over your body because you have been too weak to get up or even move. You just wonder if there is anyway out of this anyway to get rid of this over bearing non stop pain. The start of the first legal physician assisted suicide in United States started with Oregon. The first ever bill to legalize voluntary euthanasia in the United States was introduced in Ohio legislature in 1906. It was provided that when a mentally competent adult was terminally ill or hurt his doctor could ask him in the presence of three other witnesses whether he wished to cease to live. If the adult said yes three other physicians had to agree the patient's condition was hopeless before the adult could be put to death. This bill was eliminated. The bill sounded to be very lawful and just yet it was defeated. Oregon became the first government to legalize physician assisted suicide. Physician assisted suicide is unknowingly not a right protected by our constitution. Physician assisted suicide involves prescribing lethal drugs for a patient with the knowledge that the patients intends to end their life with such medication. Euthanasia the most common way is the lethal injection of the patient by the doctor. The opponents of the assisted suicide are worried about the abuses of assisted if it were to become legalized. The bill that was eventually passed so that Oregon may have assisted suicide was called the right to die bill according to Richard (caring for dying). The patient may receive life ending lethal drugs under a few conditions. 1. Two doctors have to agree that the patient isn't going to live more then 6 months. 2. The patients asked the doctor three times about for help in ending their life and the third time would be in writing. 3. Doctor waits at least 15 days after the first time the patient asked and two days after their final third request. The patient is offered alternate routes and hospice care instead of ending their lives. This bill was passed in November 1994 with a 51 percent to 49 percent win. The only States in the America that have legalized physician assisted suicide under limited circumstances are Oregon, Washington and recently Montana. Montana ruled that there was nothing in state law to prevent doctors from prescribing lethal drugs too mentally, terminally ill patients. States with statutes that explicitly criminalize assisted suicide are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. The States that criminalize assisted suicide just through common law are Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming. Jack Kevorkian started a whole new controversial argument on physician assisted suicide. Jack Kevorkian took place in many assisted suicides before anyone thought anything about legalizing or is even physician assisted suicide legal. This is why it had such a huge affect because no one new about this physician assisted suicide that came up. Jack Kevorkian publicized his work in helping patients end their lives so he could help more lives. He claimed he helped more then 130 terminally ill or chronically ill patients take their own lives. Kevorkian truly believe it was okay and the right thing to do, to help people stop suffering by helping them take their lives as a physician he even went as far as to going commercial to raise money for his cause. Kevorkian is also a painter and would sell his oil paintings to produce funds towards his cause. His assisted suicides become more and more popular and public. He was tried many times in court but never gets convicted. Kevorkian was an extremist, he believed in something and wouldn't let anything get in the way of that. On May 7, 1996 he has a trial and nearly hours after for what he's being tried for he commits. He was present at the suicide of Austin Bastable, a tool maker from Canada that had multiple sclerosis. He had performed assisted suicide by breathing in carbon monoxide as a number of doctors including Kevorkian witnessed. He was the first Canadian to die with doctor Kevorkian present. Bastable had said that his multi

POLL: Whta is your opinion of "physician-assisted" suicide?
There seems to be some controversy over the issue, as some sources claim that the death by helium inhalation, which according to them causes asphyxiation, but at the same time pro-choice organizations (who offer suicide instructions, or ideas for committing painless suicides in cases of severe incurable illness) often cite helium, with use of an "exit-bag" as a completely pain free and peaceful way to go. I only ask because I have a debate on Physician's Assisted Suicide, and this caught my attention. Thank you for your time.
Is death by helium painful or not?
Is there any good reason to respond, "well, different people have different truths"?
If I ask you about the moral acceptability of an action (abortion, physician assisted suicide, etc.),?
Ok, so for History at school, I have to come up with a law that I want to pass or be proposed. So far I have: - Making it legal to shoot a robber if he breaks into your house. - Making it so that if you want to buy or adopt an animal you must have proof that you have a place to live that allows animals and proof of income that can support the animal. - Making it illegal to smoke in a car with somebody under 18. - Making it illegal to use animals in the circus and fairs. - Having legal Americans work, and not allowing illegal aliens to work (because the ecnomy is so bad, and people have families to support). I'm not satisfied with the list. I'm really interested in the whole legalizing Physician Assisted Suicide thing and legalizing stem call research but I was wondering if anybody could give me some current problems in the U.S. that could benefit from a new law (and what the law would be). Thanks for any help you can give :)
