This article will be good to back up my statement about the legalization of PAS. The reason why is because this article talks about patients who stop eating, drinking to die because they feel like that 's what they want. So, they stop eating and a doctor can not force someone to eat. Why in the world would you let someone suffer by not eating because they want to have the right to pass away? This will definitely help my argument because they are a lot of people who forgo this act, but legalization PAS, will decrease the suffering people go through from not eat. Slowly dying because this takes about two weeks for your body to give out/ let go.
New Suicide Study Results from University of Nottingham Described (How Does Legalization of Physician-Assisted Suicide Affect Rates of Suicide?) (2015). Mental Health Weekly Digest, This article from academic onefile, I will be using this to talk about if suicide rate has increase or decrease since the legalization of physician assisted suicide. This study was conducted by students that go to the University of Nottingham. Comparing the state level of suicide before and after it was legalized, including assisted suicide and non assisted. While conducting their research they found that “Introduction of PAS was neither associated with a reduction in non assisted suicide rates nor with an increase in the mean age of non assisted suicide. Legalizing PAS has been associated with an increased rate of total suicides relative to other states and no decrease in non assisted suicides." (2015). So it doesn 't matter for the side who is against of PAS because even if it was legalized the rates of non assisted suicide for those who are sick still did not decrease.

This will definitely be a great source because it from the supreme court, which means it was argued by important people so I will be able to use a statement that someone stated within my argument. This court date happened after the oregon death so it also talks about that. So it basically just talks about what happened during this trial and what happened with the doctor who assisted a patient in oregon.
