Assisted suicide should be legalized. Dr. Jack said, “Self determination is a human right.” I believe that someone that is suffering should be allowed to die peacefully without pain. “To each person their own will of death, in dignity,” said Janet.

The patient presses a button on their own will and decision. Doctors do surgery knowing
