I just want to write about assisted suicide. There are only three states that have legalized assisted suicide since 1993 and there aren't any states who are even considering thinking about putting suicide on their agendas. Those who are against assisted suicide claim that it is society's responsibility to protect and preserve life. they also claim that by assisting in "destroying" someone's life ruins all respect for human life. Then there's the religious side where the sanctity of life is stressed above all else. When I think about their claims, they serve a valid point. No one wants to end someone's life, but what I'm saying is that if their life is already ending with no hope in sight, assisted suicide should at least be an option everywhere.
