Suicide is a person's personal decision; Physician-assisted suicide is a patient who is not capable of completing the task themselves requiring a physician to access lethal medications. What people don't see, however, is that the doctor is not the only healthcare personnel involved; it may include, but is not limited to, a doctor, a nurse and a pharmacist. This may conflict with the morals of the medical professional and there are cases in which the patient suffers from depression or does not receive appropriate palliative care. Allowing physician-assisted suicide puts the doctor in an ethical and moral limbo and causes too many other problems for it to be legal. Physician-assisted suicide, often called assisted dying, is a scenario in which a doctor provides medication or counseling that allows a terminally ill patient to commit suicide. (Breitbart) This term is often confused with euthanasia, a situation in which a doctor administers lethal doses of medication to a patient to end their life. (Breitbart) This is often done by a doctor who wants to show mercy and who believes he is ending the patient's suffering. (Breitbart) A patient who asks a doctor to help with his suicide is asking the doctor to go against his morals and the Hippocratic Oath. The Hippocratic Oath was developed by Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine,” a Greek philosopher. (Gamutan) Western medicine has traditionally used this oath as an ethical code and it was modified in the 20th century; this modified version is called the Lasagna Oath. (Gamutan) The Hippocratic Oath mentions many things, but it specifically states: "I will not give a single piece of paper...and I will not be able to take their lives." This constitutes murder, another sin. For God has declared in the Ten Commandments: “Thou shalt not kill.” (Exodus 20:13) Physician-assisted suicide is a debate that has been discussed for many centuries. It should not be legalized for many reasons, including reasons that may conflict with a doctor's judgment and reasons that may encourage a patient to seek assisted suicide. Suicide is a personal decision, and the involvement of healthcare workers makes it too legally and ethically complicated to allow. Many Americans identify as Christians, and Christianity opposes suicide and murder, which is essentially what physician-assisted suicide is. Legalizing physician-assisted suicide will cause legal and ethical controversy and outcry, and will draw the physician into ethical and moral disagreement..
