Utah Death and Dignity Act

Physician assisted suicide in terminally ill patients, that decision is final; there is no turning back once that decision has been carried out. If you take out the emotion and just sit down with the hard truth and facts, then I am for physician-assisted suicide. Someone is suffering and prolonging the inevitable, death. I don’t think that every patient would choice death over life, but it should be a safe and monitored option. When factoring in emotion and ethics then I am against physician-assisted suicide. God makes that decisions, he has a time and a place for you in heaven and when He is ready is when you should come to serve him. No one knows what goes on in the mind of a terminally ill patient who lives life in pain every minute of the day, we could never imagine, and hope never to know. The fact that ending their life would be better than living, a decision that I am sure is not taken lightly. Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide have the same results but differ...
