had its oxygen removed and used by your body’s organs and tissues. The superior vena cava carries
used blood from the upper parts of your body, including your head, chest, arms, and neck. Also, The

Assisted Suicide

Ethical and moral arguments include the principle of self-determination to control the time, place, and
nature of one's death, placing quality at the end of life above the sanctity of life. Other factors include the
desire to preserve dignity and personhood in the dying process and opposition to prolonging life by using
sophisticated medical technology when it is recognized that care is futile. Closely related to self-
determination is the principle of autonomy. This principle actually states that persons should have the right
to make their own decisions about the course of their own lives whenever they can. By extension, they
should also have the right to determine the course of their own dying as much as possible.

According to these arguments, even when choices are socially shaped they should be respected as
autonomous as long as there is appropriate evaluation of decisional capacity. No person should have to
endure terminal suffering that is unremitting, unbearable, or prolonged. When the burdens of life outweigh
the benefits because of uncontrollable pain, severe psychological suffering, loss of dignity, or loss of
quality of life as judged by the patient, and when the circumstances are not remediable, the dying person
should be able to ask for and receive help in assisted suicide. It is further argued that assisted suicide for
incurably ill persons experiencing extreme suffering can be distinguished from euthanasia used for the
purpose of genocide on the grounds that it is based on principles of dignity, honor, and respect and is
chosen and enacted by the dying individuals, rather than being forced on them against their will.
