An Issue That Eventually Plagues Every American Is the Eventuality

question 33

Essay

An issue that eventually plagues every American is the eventuality of death. However, some Americans discover they are forced to face situations that demand decisions of whether to prolong life through artificial means or to allow a loved one to die. Others long to be released from life because of the pain or debilitating conditions that prevent them from functioning in life. Analyze present cases where physicians have contributed to the death or suicide of a patient. Analyze cases where a loved one has taken the life of another loved one because of the victim's desire to no longer live with the pain or incurable disease. How do these types of crimes equate to a living will? Discuss how these crimes remain a major debate in America. Debate the realities of the decisions one must make when it comes to deciding if a loved one should be allowed to die.
