don't you sign papers to say "keep me alive, or let me go?" if this and that happens??

"Do not resuscitate."

Quote:

A do not resuscitate document is a binding legal document that states resuscitation should not be attempted if a person suffers cardiac or respiratory arrest.

Die from inability to breathe or peacefully from euthanasia. Euthanasia please.

F**k the Hippocratic oath,

The Hippocratic Oath=Swearing you'll do whatever you can do to help a patient to the best of your ability, right?

Doesn't/Shouldn't helping a patient include allowing them to die peacefully, and choose if they want to live or die.

Doesn't/Shouldn't helping a patient include allowing them to die peacefully, and choose if they want to live or die.

From the classic version of the Oath: "I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect."

The modern version: "I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God."

Your suggestion goes against the Oath.

I think that a person has a right to choose whether they want to die or not. I'm going into the medical feild right now and I just learned about some diseases that paralyz you and slowly shut down your body so I would just want to be put out of my misery you know? How about you?
