1)Explain why you believe physician assisted suicide should or should not be legalized in more states across the U.S.

2)Describe how you would therapeutically communicate with patients that chose the physician assisted suicide. (Recommend using some "Therapeutic Responses" from Chapter 11, Section 11-8 for your response)

3)Explain why physician assisted suicide or "right to die" is a difficult and/or controversial topic for healthcare employees from a legal or ethical perspective.

Sorry I did not find the file but I did what I could since the subject was very stressful, sorry for the recklessness ..

1. We can say physician-assisted suicide, excluding euthanasia, is legal in five states in the United States (Oregon, Washington, Montana, Vermont, and California) and Switzerland. . Between 0.3 and 4.6 percent of all deaths from euthanasia or PAS are in jurisdictions where they are legal.

It should not be legalized in more states since I feel that the doctors are here to save life not to take it away, there are also psychologists who can help guide people to overcome their difficulties emotionally.

2) We must emphasize that in this situation, concepts arise that are sometimes confused with each other. These are the definitions of each procedure, according to what the Autonomous Laws that try to regulate the issue and the Association for the Right to Die Worthily say.

The therapist guides her by conducting studies to see if she is a patient ready to end her life or if it is very serious to speak with family members to make that tough decision.

3. It is a difficult issue since there are relatives who do not accept to see their families die more than they are going through a certain process and for the doctor who is going to carry out the process it is a difficult task since in particular first is the faith they feel that they are doing something wrong, and then the medicine enters, implying that the best way is to die with dignity.

Controversial since his professionalization prevent him from ending a life since they swore allegiance in front of the flag to save lives.

I can say that it is a very easy topic to discuss but very difficult to understand
