An Argument for Self Directed Euthanasia

Abstract: A 5 page contention that assisted dying should be legal option for the terminally ill. The specifics of that option, however, should somehow be related to the person's ability to make a cognizant decision to terminate their own life. This decision should be made either prior to the point where they are no longer capable of functioning logically (such as in the case of an advanced directive) or at the point when they are actively seeking euthanasia as a result of their perception that they have a intolerable quality of life and are enduring pain and suffering that the medical profession cannot alleviate. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
