4. Unit Should doctors be allowed to assist seriously ill patients with suicide? Can I have a volunteer to read the passage below?
Jorge supports assisted suicide, but Lisa is critical of the practice.
“Most very sick people consider the idea of assisted suicide only if they feel they are a burden to their families. If we had better ways of taking care of people, we could prevent people from considering this approach,” Lisa says.
“Is that true?” Jorge asks. “If it is, maybe I would alter my opinion.”
“Actually, I have some data on this difficult topic,” says Professor Kahn. “The State of
Oregon keeps a record of the end-of-life concerns of those who pursue legal assisted suicide.”
