reasoning. I have found a couple that I feel will back my opinion on assisted suicide.First of all there is the Egoism approach. This emphasizes the aim of always acting for perceived self-interest, usually in the long-term, even at the expense of the well being of others. When a person contemplates suicide, they are acting in self-interest. They feel it is the best thing for them to do at the time. They do not care about what the effect will be on their loved ones or friends, all they see is that suicide is a way out of their long-term suffering, and in a way they are right for thinking that. Sometimes we have to let go of the ones we love, even though we do not want them to go, it is in their best interest that they do not suffer. Next there is the Virtue-Ethics approach. This emphasizes the aim of excellence by doing the right thing as a result of focusing on certain character values.When a person is suffering, all they can think about is ending the pain. At most times that is the only thing on their mind. They focus on their character values and determine whether or not that suicide is the right thing. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. Do they want the pain to end? Yes, they do. Do they want their family to suffer from overwhelming debt? No, they don’t. Do they want their family to suffer from their loss? No, they don’t. In the end, the patient will determine the right thing to do.In conclusion I feel that this issue will continue to go on as controversial. There will never be an end to it. But the need for ended suffering will go on. The need for better health care will go on. No matter what happens there will always be someone who will object to the procedure. But when you think about it, which is the most humane? The person saying it is wrong to end a life? Or would it be the person suffering who wants to die in dignity? All in all, it is up to the person to make their own opinion on the situation....
