A terminal illness or severe disorder or disease, diagnosis of a degenerative, progressive illness, and a loss of independence are a few more common ones. There are many reasons these people feel that physician assisted suicide is a good solution to their problems. A lack of health-care coverage for pain killing medication, fear of using assets and its effect on their quality of life. When the topic of suicide is brought up in a religious context , physician assisted or not, it is opposed. Because people feel strongly about their religious beliefs, they are less likely to change their view, even when given the all the information.
Morals also play a large role when people form their views about physician assisted suicide.
A preconceived idea of suicide is, most likely, already present in the minds of most people. So, for them to change their definition by means of simply adding a few words in front of the issue is a difficult thing to do. Because people believe in their morals so strongly, as with religion, it is hard to persuade them to see differently. But, if given the facts, I think that most people could be persuaded to see the positive aspects of physician assisted suicide, disregarding all previous notions of the word suicide. The topic of the terminally ill is just as debatable as physician assisted suicide, so when combined, they create quiet a hard topic to argue.
