Make your own choice

A person has a right to their body and a right to do what they want with it.  No one should make that decision for you.  Such as the government or doctors.  Only an individual person knows what is going on in their body and how they feel.  That person should be able to decide how they want to carry out their life. Euthanasia should be legal! Your Right Your Body Your Life

Doctors and Euthanasia

 Alls doctors and medical practioniers must be very careful when dealing with euthanasia or assisted suside cases. For all differnt reason, yes the doctor wars to listen and respect what their patient wants to do, and accomdate their wish; however they can not do so if it is not legal. There have been many cases where doctors endup gettonmg blamed and in trouble for perofming a sucide. First it has to be legal by the  state law in which you live; also it must be the person's say under the correct circumstances. There must also be formal documentation so it does no back fire on a family member making a decison or a doctor.


Canada and Assisted Suicide


A bill was created by the Canadian law called bill C-384. The Canadians say assisted suicide is deliberately helping another person commit suicide. They can do this by prescribing the patient with a lethal dose, which will kill the person. The Canadian criminal law thinks this is illegal and amount to murder if committed. This bill C-384 would create exception for criminal liability for doctors who follow the rules, it would specify. Many of these people overlook that the patient has the right to die if they choose. Although the doctor must also be given the right to kill the Quebec government said it will set up a research committee to consider this issue and the bill.


Kinds of Euthanasia


Voluntary Euthanasia: The person who is killed has requested to be killed.  (This may involve physician-assisted suicide if a physician is assisting in the death.) 
Non-Voluntary Euthanasia: The person who is killed made no request and gave no consent.  
Involuntary Euthanasia: The person who is killed made an expressed wish to the contrary.  
Assisted Suicide: Someone provides an individual with the information, guidance, and means to take his own life with the intention that these tools and information will be used for the commission of suicide. 
Physician-Assisted Suicide: A licensed physician provides the means for someone to kill himself through the use of legally prescribed drugs, instructing the person on how to use them.  (Physicians may also speed a patient to his death by denying or withdrawing life-saving treatment; however, this is considered euthanasia by omission, not physician-assisted suicide, even though the physician is involved in the denial or withdrawal of treatment.) 
Euthanasia by Action: Intentionally causing a person's death by performing an action, such as by giving a lethal injection. 
Euthanasia by Omission: Intentionally causing death by not providing necessary and ordinary care or food and water.  This is usually done against the will of the patient and the patients family.
