The right to assisted suicide primarily pointed out concerns on the lives of many citizens in
various states globally. They are getting to the drawing board, asking whether a dying patient has the right
to get assisted to die. To avoid pain or agony, the patient might be undergoing? Physicians have differing
views on the same question. Many patients that have a terminal illness and are in the critical stage of the
disease. Many times, have requested physicians to help them in euthanasia raising the question of whether
every person has the right to choose what they want to do with their lives as long as they harm no one
else. Many people differ in this aspect that has a varied dimension of viewing it. They don’t understand
the difference between relieving patient pain and killing the person. Will address the two sides, on

whether people have the right to choose on what they have to do with their lives.
Presentation of an Argument
Physician-assisted suicide is a solution to the different questions raised on the dilemma of
euthanasia. Those medical ethics do support assisted suicide. Physicians have the mandate to do anything
in their duty to ensure they respect patient anatomy. Besides, they consider it t just with the patient and

practicing fairness (Nordqvist, 2016). Medical ethics, in addition to the law, respect the right of the client
to refuse medication besides life-supporting treatment. The idea is to get rid of the treatment that the
patient considers not to be consistent with the goals that they have. An ethical argument in the prop of

assisted suicide by physicians puts into consideration the principle of respecting patient anatomy. The act
of assisted suicide is getting viewed as an act of compassion through respecting patient way and fulfilling
the mandate of non-abandonment (Nordqvist,2016).

Traditional ethics in the field emphasizes on providing care to patients. These ethics require
physicians not to act in a manner to suggest they want to end the life of the patient internationality. It is in
line with expectation of whether all people have the right to do anything with their life as long they don’t

harm anyone. Besides, the question of getting helped to commit suicide is in line with the ethics
controlling physicians in their duties.
Presentation of an Argument on the Other Side of the Issue
On the opponent’s side of viewing, the idea jeopardizes physician way capability to practice
better care to the best of the patient, besides physicians are participants of a profession that is guided by
moral ethics, they are not just there to deliver services but to be compassionate because they are human
beings (Nordqvist,2016). This act will breach the patient-physician relationship, in addition to the
breaching of the confidence that the public as on physicians of protecting public health the action of
suicidal assist is contrary to the physician duty of medically advising patients on the right way to follow
the medication. In this context, there is no justification for a patient undergoing euthanasia. Just as
medication cannot eradicate death, it’s the same way it cannot put an end to suffering.

Balancing this aspect on either side, people have the right to choose what do with their lives
creates ethical arguments on the partnership of the patient-physician. The partnership It’s a kind of
relationship that gets built upon differences in terms of duty performed by the physician in society.
Assisted suicide is not a remedy for disease; neither is it a solution to all the puzzles raised on the very

issue (Hall and Parker,2018). This practice is problematic if put into practice, especially affecting the
relationship of patient vs. physician. Control, method, and manner of death as never been an objective of
medicine; however, through proper communication therapies, high-quality care physicians advise the
patient on the best way to live the very last stage of life.
