Point IV

The three points of my exploratory paper are the ideas of murder, assisted suicide, and euthanasia. It discusses what constitutes each of these ideas. Currently the most favored position is that assisted suicide and euthanasia are considered murder and are illegal in most areas. This is because it is usually considered a doctors job to save not to kill or let die which some might consider murder. Although this is the view of most places some favor the idea of legalizing assisted suicide and euthanasia. In my opinion the perspective that needs to be dominant is that of those who favor the idea of assisted suicide and euthanasia not being considered murder and should be legal because of the fact that the patients are asking for this service from there doctors. This could be enforced as a policy by allowing certain types of assisted suicide and euthanasia.
