Physician assisted suicide has been at the center of controversy for quite a long. There are countries which have amended laws either to support or to reject the act. However, there are reasons that push individuals to consider this form of dying. In some instances it can be unquestionable and thus it has two sides. Outlined below are several tips basically for understanding death with dignity pros and cons.

Knowing that it is not as easy as people think, ailing from some diseases can be so stressful. This calls for authorities who do not accept that its people embrace this form dignified demise. The exercise is right at the center of controversy in that they claim that one should be awarded the autonomy to die. This will allow them terminate the incessant agony they undergo.

On the other hand, the legal systems have casted off the idea terming it unethical. The thing is that nobody has the right to die. This will mean that nobody has the authority to administer the lethal injection either voluntary or involuntary. This in most cases will be considered as a criminal act if the legal system has put forward their stand.

Arguing that it is not their autonomy will add no value to their lives. Since it fills them with desperation they should be allowed to carry out euthanasia. This is mainly because it is the only perfect way to end continuous suffering that result from the incurable sickness. Starving them of this can be a bad idea considering that they have lost hope.

Hindrance to this is the administration rules regarding the practice. As said earlier this is considered as a crime by many countries around the globe. This prevents the incurably sick persons from dying with their laws. This has caused uproar among the activists who assert that the administration denying the right to die is subjecting its people to endless anguish.

Assisting to die in one way or another does not disqualify the palliative care as a way to prolong life. Allowing doctors to assist is rather according empathetic care and respect to the patient by allowing them to take that as an option. This has been pain-staked to be an option rather than leaving a person to suffer for long and ultimately they will die.

Nevertheless, according the doctors a chance to carry out such activity will drag the whole patients into a nightmare. In those countries which have allowed this might never appreciate the importance of palliative care. This will eventually result to too many of them practicing the act whether voluntary or involuntary.

In conclusion, all the factors discussed above are what one should bear in mind. It is so tricky that they have to understand both sides of the argument. Thinking critically should be highly regarded here so as to determine what is best for people.
