Ukoliko terminalno bolesni pacijenti moći završiti svoje živote preko potpomognuto samoubojstvo?

Kad biste se stavili u kožu nekoga tko je neizlječivo bolestan, kako bi se promijenio vaš pogled na potpomognuto samoubojstvo?

Mislite li da bi bol i pravo na njezino izbjegavanje trebali utjecati na legalizaciju potpomognute smrti za neizlječivo bolesne pacijente?

Kako kulturna ili vjerska pozadina može utjecati na nečije mišljenje o tome treba li potpomognuto samoubojstvo biti osobni izbor?

Što mislite o ravnoteži između svetosti života i ublažavanja nepodnošljive patnje kada lijek nije dostupan?

Da prijatelj neizlječivo pati, koji biste mu savjet dali o izborima koje imaju na kraju života?

Možete li zamisliti situaciju u kojoj bi okončanje vlastitog života moglo izgledati kao čin suosjećanja, a ne kao zločin?

Kako vaše osobne vrijednosti ili uvjerenja mogu utjecati na vaš stav o tome trebaju li pojedinci imati autonomiju nad vlastitim životom i smrću?

Što mislite o ideji da imate pravo birati kako će nečiji život završiti, posebno u slučajevima ekstremne, neizlječive boli?

Kako biste se osjećali da imate moć okončati patnju voljene osobe odlukom, znajući da je njihovo stanje nepovratno?

Why can't a patient chose "Death With Dignity?" Each person can tolerate their own level of pain and quality of life. Just because the medical and pharmacological fields say they can extend a person's life with certain pills or procedures, that should NOT be the only option a patient has. I could never understand why it's acceptable to alleviate an animal's pain and suffering but humans feel possibly extending a patient's life is the only choice.

yes, but only if they have 0% chance of recovery and found to be of sound mental state

Yes, but only with strong controls in place to ensure that this is truly the patient's desire, that it be done under a physician's care, and that adequate legal protections for physicians who perform such a procedure.

Its a combination of many things. One should not commit suicide but if they are in so much despair that they just cannot deal then maybe. That's a hard question and that person should be tested psychologically to be site they are of mental stability.

I believe that a professing Christian should pray for strength to endure, and medical assistance should be provided by Hipprocratic Oath following, license physicians should administer same. I believe that Our GOD will NEVER put me in position that GOD does NOT ALSO PROVIDE support to remain true to my faith in HIM!!

Who are we to tell people to suffer more if they so choose not to suffer until their terminal illness kills them?
