Then, another view in this debate is the doctor who is actually administering the medication to assisted suicide. What if he doesn't want to? What if it's against his personal views and ideology? What gives the patient the right to demand a doctor to go against his Hippocratic oath? Just a quick note. Are you saying that a Doctor should NOT help people if it goes against his beliefs? My mom is christian and is a nurse in a clinic were she gets all kinds of stories, one of which is abortion. She strongly disagrees with abortion, but, she still does it because it is her job. A doctors job is to try and save as many lives as he/she can OR help ease the pain of those dieing. By assisted suicide, the doctor is fulfilling his/her job regardless of beliefs and/or an oath. NBVegita> No, it should not be disregarded, but when you quote a source that contains religion, it must also be stated that most religions are stoutly against both abortion and euthanasia, thus you are not producing a neutral source. That would be tantamount to the republican party quoting Rush Limbaugh to support one of their stances. Is his opinion irrelevant? No. Is it bias? Yes.
