Assisted suicide is suicide committed with the help of another person most of the time, a physician. The term is often used interchangeably with physician-assisted suicide which involves a doctor knowing and intentionally providing the patient who wishes to die with the lethal dose of drugs that will do so. Assisted suicide and euthanasia are usually interchangeable and go along with the word "assisted dying."
For Assisted Suicide
There are many pros to assisted suicide. For one, when people are terminally ill it is hard and sometimes impossible for them to do daily tasks. They have to rely on other people and there lives suffer because of this. Some can't talk and every day are in constant, constant pain, but with assisted suicide they can be put to sleep with a lethal dose of medication which causes no pain. This gives them, "the right to die in peace."
Against Assisted Suicide
Some may argue that assisted suicide is not right. Morally, putting someone to there death is not okay. People argue that there is always a chance for someone to live and that people have meaning in others life and they should be able to live it out even if they are in pain or if they are going to die. Also with new medicine coming out everyday they never know if they could cure the illness.
Assisted suicide usually occurs via a lethal dose of barbiturates prescribed by a doctor.
