Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS) has occurred when a person typically suffers from a terminal ill- incurable illness or chronic intensely pain and intend to kill himself with the help of another individual like a doctor. The doctor prescribes a lethal dose or drugs with the understanding that patient plans to use them overdose fatally or a doctor may insert an intravenous needle into the arm of a patient, who then pushes a switch to trigger a fetal injection. Active Voluntary Euthanasia (AVE) is a lethal injection by doctors, who actively participate rather than assisting, into dying patient who explicit request and with fully informed consent.

Some people argue that PAS and AVE is morally permissible and should be legal for people who fulfill the conditional to take PAS and AVE because competent and terminal ill people should have the right to choose death, should be allowed to end their suffering, should be assisted when they are physical unable, and voluntary euthanasia and suicide are legal. Although I know from first hand experiences how cruel unbearable pain and suffering for terminally ill patient, I am against to PAS and AVE because surely voluntary and informed consent can never be exact, PAS and AVE would create psychological distress of the patient and prevent being burden to other, undermine the integrity of Medical Profession, will ultimately lead to Non-Voluntary Euthanasia, and the harm of PAS and AVE are likely to only be experienced by the poor and uninsured.

The supporter of PAS and AVE argument are understandable. Indeed, people should be free to control their life and death and their freedom must be respect only and only if it must not violate other freedom or right and affect the public, directly or indirectly if it does then it loses its wholly private character and it must be protected by law.

Second argument, people should be allowed to end their suffering. The weakness of this point is that it does not give credit for the advance pain control and pain management. These approaches get advanced in recent years.

Third reason some people are physically unable to end their live when the option is open to others. It makes sense to help physically unable people but the question how and who can help them. Physicians do not trained to assist these people who wants end their life. Furthermore, it is not their professional duty and damaged integrate of medical profession. Therefore, whoever assist these people should hold liable.

Fourth reason, Passive Voluntary Euthanasia, deliberately disconnecting life support equipment, or stopping any life sustaining medical procedures, to permit the natural death of the patient, is legal. This argument undermines the different between PAS and AVE and it is held by some states and does not applicable to all terminally ill patient.

The last but not the least, suicide is legal. In other word, suicide is not a criminal offence. It is necessarily important to encourage if a person has good reason for death. It does not make sense because the person who jumps to the big bridge because of lost gambling has a good reason to kill himself and terminally ill also has a good reason. Therefore, it is not relevant to say if you have a good reason, you can kill yourself.

In short and in brief, the above arguments are irrelevant and jump one step a head because it does not realize American health care system which is “privatized health care” which means that health care is fully accessible for wealthy insure people. Therefore, before we legalize PAS and AVE, we should make health care affordable for all society group and classes.
