Terminally ill people in hospitals go through agony daily, constantly in pain and having no end to it. Sometimes they are given the option of assisted suicide which is a harmless way to allow them to choose their own fate. Some people think it's a form of murder or killing, but I feel like if I were ill I would want assisted suicide too. Imagine the hospital bills and all of the experiences they miss out on, and they would likely depend on their family. The pain they suffer is not curable by a drug or simple procedure, in the medical field their is not much they can do for terminally ill patients’ pain. Obviously, due to covid, we do not have room in hospitals, and trying to keep a dying patient in the hospital costs around two thousand to ten thousand dollars a month. Imagine the guilt that they live through and the frustration of not being able to end this constant pain. Watching a loved one pass is always a hard thing but when they live their life constantly fighting don't you think they get tired?
do you think assisted suicide is alright?
yes.
if you were terminally ill would assisted suicide be your first option?
most likely.

Good topic choice and while your summary is well written, it is also brief. Be sure to reply more frequently as well as you replied only two times. -10 late
I think that you should have that choice if someone is having to help you with a lot of things just to keep you barely living because no one wants to live like that and they would probaly be miserable. But I think they should just wait to die.
If you are going to die and your are living in agony and pain and every day missing out on the things that make life great you should have the decission to pick your fate. I wouldn't fo it personally if my family was still by my side because I think that I could go through that pain to avoid causing more pain to my family.
I think that if you are terminally ill and your going to eventually die that way, you should have the right to that choice. I think you should only have that choice if you are relying on the hospital for survival, though. If I was terminally ill and relying on machines to keep me alive, I would probably want to pull the plug. However, if I didn't have to rely on machines to keep me alive, I would just wait for my time to come.
i think if they were in a really bad conditon then yes but i think the family would also have to make the desion with the person in the hospilte. i think if i was in bad shape and suffering then yes i would do it but if i think i can get throw it then i do the assisted suicide.
I think that this type of Euthanization would be ok for a terminally ill patient, but that we are about the only thing that I would see this as acceptable. I would only see this as an option as the last resort and I hope it would not be used frequently.
I think it should be ok for assissted sucide to happen because it is not much different if someone were in a coma and you take them off the machines. I would definetlythink about it to stop my harm and my families harm.
I can see both the pros and the cons of assisted suicide. I think that if someone is terminally ill without any form of hope for getting better, then it is okay for them to want to have an option as a way out in order to avoid unnecessary pain. If I was terminally ill, I don't think assisted suicide would be my first option, but I may consider it if I felt it was necessary or best for me.
I think that assisted suicide is okay in some circumstances. If you are a terminally ill patient and you will just continue to be in pain or suffer, I think that the option of assisted suicide is okay. I would not go to assisted suicide as my first option, I would want to live out the last days of my life however I could.
I think assisted suicide is okay if you have a uncurable disease that no medicine or time spent in the hospital will cure. Medical bills will pile up and the terminally ill person will continue to suffer. By asking for release, you are giving the family less to worry about and less to pay for in taxes and medical bills. The terminally ill person will also suffer no more and finally have that release to something that was uncurable from the start. If I were terminally ill, assisted suicide would be on my roster. I would first do everything I wanted to do and probably wait until I am in terrible pain and can barely move anymore. I wouldn't stay or go to the hospital. I would not want to increase my life by 10 or 15 years. I would want no medicine or treatment so I wouldn't have to suffer longer or increase my medical bills.
