Family members can argue that the pleasure (relieving the pain of one family member) does not outweigh the cost of pain (a family losing a member). Pro: There are two main points that are associated with morality of pro assisted suicide. The first is the respect for death with dignity and the second is again using Bentham’s Utilitarian theory. After all, it is completely immoral to deny a persons last request: death. The main reason patients think about suicide is because of the endless pain they suffer.
It would be hypocritical for anyone to contribute to a physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia because the American culture mourns and then celebrates ones death anniversary: “We do seem to value life since we mourn and celebrate our loved ones anniversary deaths. Then we select this option and end one’s life, it just does not seem morally correct” (The Reality). Does it really make sense to help kill that patient then? Yes, some would argue that a wish to die with dignity should be honored if we love someone; however, they should still not let that loved one die. They should not because with the new age that humanity is in, there a lot more ways to go about helping this loved one.

However, the ‘Good Samaritan’ law does not follow the legal principle, the state provides well-paid professionals to help people in need, if untrained people are attempting to help, then they could put the victim in more danger, if more harm does come to the victim then many people could be held liable, therefore, as well as protecting the public, this law could also cause more harm. There is also the moral question of: should ordinary people be forced to act as rescuers? This law puts a lot of pressure on the public and goes against the legal principle, even though it does not seem to ensure public protection. The main rule is that, 'an omission cannot make a person guilty of an offence', however, there are
So then, why is it so hard to comprehend the facts and reasoning behind assisted suicide? Maybe it is because of the term used, or could it be that society as a whole, cannot accept the fact that at some point and time the elderly and the terminally ill just want the pain and suffering to end. Either of the two seems justifiable enough of a reason to open the floor for discussion among the prominent parties that need to discus the topic to have the laws changed or at least modified to fit the
It basically is saying that emotion can cause us to be irrational and make the wrong decisions, and that it is difficult to make a morally sound decision when you base it on your emotion.
