Death with dignity, isn't that the way we all dream of dying? Almost every family has had to watch the slow and agonizing death of a beloved family member from cancer, neurological disease, or other terminal illness. This is where doctor assisted suicide (DAS) steps in. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just stop the pain and misery of a loved one? When they only have a few months to live and they are in constant pain, wouldn't you want to stop that? If you answer yes, sorry, it's not going to happen very easily. DAS is still illegal in almost all of the states and is considered a crime in many of them.

I think that doctor assisted suicide should be a choice for people who are suffering and terminally ill.
