Death With Dignity

Death With Dignity is a law that says that doctors have the right to help someone kill themselves if they have a terminal illnesses. This is saying that they have the right to die before the long, horrible process they will die from. Apparently, this is supposed to be easier.

There are, like always, rules that need to be followed.

Of course the most obvious is that you have to already be dying. But you have to be dying within six months. Then the doctor can prescribe you a letheal dose of medication.

The request most be witnessed by two witnesses. These people must not be in relation with the person or benefit from the death. So they are going to leave the hospital and go down a block and scream, "hey, I need two people to watch this person kill themselves!!!" These people cannot be the persons doctor. Once the person makes the request then they need to be analyzed by a different doctor so they can make sure the decision is a sane one. Because some people who decide to, in a way, kill themselves might not be sane.

Omce this is done there is a 15 day wait and then you have to ask again. And all this is done within the sox months. So by the time anyone gets to do this they will already be dead. The dying patient can also cancel his request. Nobody would have ever guessed this. They all thought that the minute you said you wanted this you could not take it back and if you did, they would just kill you. And doctors are not allowed to do that.

In my opinion, this law is ok. It is the persons decision. If they do not want to wait to die from this dieses, than they should not have too. They should be able to end it any time they want. It is not like it is suicide because these people are going to die. They do not want to do it painfully.
