About assisted suicide


In Switzerland, there is a Clinic named Dignitas. Dignitas is a group which does assisted suicide illegally does to the Switzerland’s law. Many people from all over the world come to this clinic and die. There are many arguments going on about assisted suicide, however, it should not be legalized.
First, many people who came to this clinic have intolerable suffer do to the terminal diseases. However, in Dignitas, patients don’t have to have terminal or progressive diseases to die according to the web site Wikipedia. This means that people can easily choose death when they faced to the difficult problems or sorrow. Human must go through these difficulties in their lives and these experiences make one man a strong person.
Second, even if patients have terminal diseases, new remedies might discover in the future. For example, according to the mobile version of BBC news, one rugby player who became paralyzed by the accident during a game died in the Dignitas. But a year later, there discovered new remedy to help curing paralysis (not perfect recovery). These cases will make patients’ family or friends regret themselves.
Last, if assisted suicide is legalized more people would choose death. One reason which stops people from dying is the fear that they might suffer before their death. But the death in the assisted suicide is rather comfortable because patients will die while they’re sleeping. According to the Yahoo news, over 30 thousand people committed suicide in Japan in 2009 and the number is still increasing. This data shows that there are more people who have desire for death searching easy way to die.
 Assisted death should not be legalized for not choosing easy death, not making patients family or friends regret, and stop the number of people who commit suicide increasing.
