Confronting Physician- Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia: My Father’s Death” by Susan Wolf

In the article Confronting Physician- aided Suicide and Euthanasia My arrests death by Susan Wolf, I would also be forced to rethink my objections to legalizing assisted suicide and euthanasia. (Wolf, 2008) I wipe forth never been put in this type of a slur where someones action dep annihilateed on it. Having to make the ratiocination to help someone move toward death sooner to ease the vexation and digesting they argon dealing with, is non something that whoremonger be generaten lightly.Being leftfield to make the final termination on mop up someones life to help end their resisting slew be completely enceinte to imagine doing. Watching someone gravel so much can also be very hard to endure. I draw never been put in this type of situation and I hope I never have to that I am going to put myself in Susan Wolfs rear end and give my point of view of the situation she was put in on such a big decision of a loved one. in that respect are a lot of people who would sooner end their life than continue to go on living with the incommode and wo(e) they are dealing with.About three or four years ago, my go in law was suffering from Pulmonary Fibrosis, a lung condition that the tissues thick in the lungs become thick or scarred over duration and some people would describe the lungs looking like honeycombs. He was diagnosed in 2000 and was only given about three years to live but lived for six. in that respect were times he would say he wishes there was a switch to turn off because he cannot take any more(prenominal) of the suffering. He was ready to end his life and the suffering but he unploughed going until November 15, 2008 when he passed a personal manner.He make sure that there was a do not resuscitate in place because he did not fate to continue to suffer. Susans paternitys physical health was declining and it was affecting his mental capacity as well.. She describes him as a smart, sagacity lawyer, the family patriarch. She cou ld see his spark for life start to fade at the end when he could not even read or do the stark naked York Times crossword puzzles he used to knock off in an hour, or even watch T. V. (Wolf, 2008) I would wonder how much worse this would become and how much longer he would have to live with the disturb and the suffering of it all. It is not something I would want to endure myself. Susans father was ready to accelerate his departure and she wanted to consider the options and let him fill in his options as well.I would have done the uniform thing. Discuss the options address subject to make sure he watchs what he wants. She was watching her fathers health dwindle so fast that she could ot let him continue to suffer anymore. Her father was the man who insisted that he would want everything, even in a persistent vegetative state (Wolf, 2008) was throwing in the towel and wanting to end up any more treatments and to further accelerate (Wolf, 2008) the process, had to be devastati ng frankness that he had to face and something no one wants to face at all. There are a lot of people who think it is o. k. to assist with the closure of ones life if the situation is right for it.There in reality is no way to tell if anyone wants to end their suffering unless there is indite proof that they want to do so and have it signed and notarized by the patient. Everyone should have a say when it comes to our bodies especially if we are dying and suffering really bad. It will take the people speaking up and having their concerns hear before something can ever take place for people who are suffering very badly and do not want to suffer anymore. What about someone on life support that is in a lot of pain but cannot speak for their self?The decision is left to the families and sometimes the families opt to substantiate the person living even though that person may be in a world of pain but cannot speak for themselves. Then there are the ones that do take their loved one of f of life support to stop the suffering. It is the same thing. Deciding what is right for the dying family member. It is a very tough decision to make conscionable like it was for Susan Wolf in respecting her father and his wishes to just die and end the suffering.I do not think Susan made a wrong decision she help decide for her father. He was able to go naturally which she justified on her own level of moral. aid suicide is not a wrong choice if someone can no longer live with the pain and suffering they are enduring. It would be better to have paper work to prove this is what the person wants rather than the person taking their own life. I for one suffer on a daily basis with chronic pain that I cannot get diagnosed.There are days I am in more pain than I ever want to be and just want to end it for good but I am young and have four children and a husband I could not bear to progress behind. I deal with the pain and take medication to help keep it under control. I do hope that one day if it gets out of control, that I have the option to terminate my life if need be. The way I see it is no one should ever have to suffer. Everyone deserves to have peace and be peaceful in the end.ReferencesWolf, S. M. (2008).
