Physician Assisted Suicide Do We Really Have a Right to Die' INTRO Imagine living with the reality that you have leukemia. Given all the details about chemotherapy and knowing the lengthy, painful process still only gives you a twenty-five percent chance of survival you decide to live out your life as comfortably as possible and refuse treatment. In making this decision you decide that when you inevitably become pain ridden and completely dependant on others you would like to die in peace and no longer suffer. How would you feel if the government told you that you couldn’t do so' This is where the debate of physician assisted suicide comes into play. Should a person suffering with a terminal illness be able to be assisted in a humane and comfortable death' This question has been argued for many years, laws have been passed then overruled, and many heated debates have started in courtrooms across the country. Some people may think of it as murder or morally wrong to end a life. However some feel it is the most humane thing we can do for our suffering loved ones.
