Summary
In 1994, Oregon voters passed the Death with Dignity Act, which legalized physician-assisted suicide for people with terminal illnesses. Since then, more states have passed such laws, and others are considering them. Is physician-assisted suicide, as the American Medical Association's code of ethics states, "fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role as healer?" Will such laws lead to a slippery slope, where human life is devalued and vulnerable people are pressured to choose death? Or do people possess a basic right to autonomy and independence regarding end-of-life decisions that include the right to end pain and suffering, and the right to choose to die with dignity? Should physician-assisted suicide be legal?
