Reported cases of suicide due to terminal illness have been on the rise. Today, there are (more than two, but not a lot of) terminal illnesses that badly bother our community. Key among these terminal illnesses includes cancer and (disease where blood sugar swings wildly). Adult patients have always thought about/believed the option of ending their lives to turn away/avoid the suffering that comes with the disease.

In general therefore this debate has been screaming and acting violently on for at least 20 years now. This research paper analyses the meaning of doctor-helped suicide and its effects/results/suggestions. It also looks into the practicality of the process and arguments supporting its lawfulness. This paper will prove that doctor helped suicide should be (made something permitted by law) to allow terminally ill patient manage their own (the) unavoidable, already-decided future.
