This is my research question:
Should assisted suicide be legal?
Messerli, Joe. "Should an incurably-ill patient be able to commit physician-assisted suicide?" Balanced Politics March 2007. SIRS Researcher. http://www.balancedpolitics.org/assisted_suicide.htm#no.
Joe Messerli, who works for the Balanced Politics site, is against assisted suicide being legal. He has many reasons that it should be illegal, but starts off with the
"Doctors' Hippocratic oath". This oath is "First, do no harm". Making assisted suicide legal would be a violation of that oath, and it would lead to a weakening of doctor-patient trust. Obviously, the doctor would be harming them by killing them. He has many other reason also such as that it demeans the value of human life, and that doctors are given too much power, and can be wrong or unethical .
