Assisted Suicide

        "Should Doctors assist their patient's death?  The doctors' obligation
is to provide every possible support during the process of dying.  Do doctors
have the right to hasten the process, when requested to do so?  There has been a
great deal of discussion over this topic for the past few years."
        For many years now, assisted suicide has been a debated topic of who
believes in it and who does not.  The Christian faith disagrees in the act of
assisted suicide.  “This religion teaches redemptive suffering. God sends

is known for ending more than one hundred lives in less than thirty years.  "The
emotion is what you prescribed or what you have injected will cause the patient
to die.  Its so opposite to normal feelings of a doctor that you have to go
through a period of resisting this.  Although you must remember the patient is
you friend."
     Another Physician that is highly noted for assisted suicide is Dr. Jack
Kevorkian.  He believes that he is a hero to all of his patients.  "If it
wasn't for me, life would seem like it would never end to all of my patients
that are suffering from illness."   "I have never actually caused a death, but I
