Assisted Suicide Is Not Murder Assisted suicide is a very touchy issue but should be allowed for all terminally ill patients. Any person who has been diagnosed terminal should be allowed to end their pain and suffering. The term assisted suicide has several different interpretations.

Many disagree with it but I personally believe it should be up to the patient and his/her doctor to decide what is best for their life. I would say it would be considered as ethical egoism.

A Living Will is a document that is used to let others know what your end of life wishes are. It includes things such as medicine that you do or do not want, what life saving measures are to be taken, if you want to be on life support or not. This document goes into effect when you become incapacitated and there is no hope of your ultimate recovery. If, for example, you have a heart attack and aren't able to speak, this document will not go into effect, because it is not a terminal illness, so after surgery there is hope of your recovery. This document is important because it helps your family members by relieving them of tough decisions about your life and health.
As a health care provider emotional support should be provided by listening, focusing, responding from your gut and leaving hope in tack. It is important to recognize that some depression is normal although, when it begins to interfere with activities of daily living the patient or their family member may need to be referred to a psychiatrist for psychotherapy and anti-depressants.
