I need help deciding whether or not I am for Assisted Suicide, or against it. I am doing a report and need arguments for either the for side or against side!
First you need to decide whether you believe an individual has a right to decide the manner of their own death. Arguments for this would appeal to individual liberty as an overriding virtue. Arguments against would appeal to the sanctity of life and the possibility of hope.
Second, if an individual does have a right to decide the manner of their own death, does a doctor have the right to assist them? Arguments for this would fall back on individual liberty-- not allowing assistance would infringe on the individual's right to die, especially if they have very limited physical abilities. Arguments against this would focus on the role of the physician as a healer not a killer, and the danger of physician corruption or negligence leading to an assisted "suicide" when the individual did not in fact want to die.
No one can tell you if you are for or against assisted suicide. That is something you have to decide yourself. I personally have nothing against it. I someone is in such a poor physical state that they would prefer to be dead then that is their choice. It is then up to the physician if he is willing to help. I think that this kind of suicide is way different than depression based suicide.
Depends if your an Atheist your Assisted Suicide because you don't believe in life that was sacrificed. if your non-athiest you believe that god shares his life life is borrowed its not yours. Remember That. I know I will get alot of bad remarks for this but I am speaking on my beliefs and answering your question with my knowledge and what I have been taught in the past.
You can get a ton of arguments on both sides by searching for a Dr. Jack Kevorkian! The topic of "right to die" also will get you all the info you need. Good luck!
i'm not saying I have a consistent opinion in this discipline despite the undeniable fact that, i will play devil's advise. the most awesome to play God and save early starting up babies? certain, that could want to be taking section in God because, it really is giving life. Taking existence is for devil who comprises scouse borrow, kill, and damage. Separation between church and state? if you're speaking appropriate to the pressures on politicians to do what the non secular say to do you would possibly want to assert all judgements are church and state appropriate. very last despite the undeniable fact that now not least, Saul who disobeyed God ended up killing himself. As did Judas who betrayed Christ. So, is the movements in ones life (in the adventure that they defy God or not) outline in the adventure that they are going to dedicate Suicide?
against because suicide should be the last resort if someone is going to aid you in your suicide why not take the time to talk you out of the situation or maybe help you out in other ways instead? and the decision shouldnt be based on playing god or anything like that because that clouds the reality of whats going on someone is in pain and should be helped out

Assisted suicide is playing God and should never be legalized.
