Assisted Suicide: Euthanasia. An irony of our age is that the more medical science attempts to prolong our lives-- whatever the quality--the more we are trying to find ways of ending it, peacefully, legally and painlessly. Assisted suicides are becoming more and more common, although no less infamous. The idea of taking our lives into our own hands is one fraught with issues both moral and practical. Does the afflicted individual have the right to an assisted suicide? What is a permissible level of suffering? What are the family issues involved? Death, like life, is not a simple matter. 7 pgs. 12 f/c. 8b.
