In current day U.S. a large amount of the population have some kind of mental illness. Only in a few states is it legal to go through, or get PAS done. PAS is physician assisted suicide, also known as euthanasia. Due to the limited amount of states it is available in, people who would like to end their pain, may have to do so in a much more violent manner. There are a few positive outcomes of this procedure, such as organ donation, and prices of treatment, or medications would be reduced. Therefore, PAS should be legal in all states, to prevent horrific, or violent deaths, but to also help support people's decisions, and maybe save other's lives.
Everyday about twenty two people die waiting for an organ transplant. If some get assisted suicide, it is still possible for them to donate their organs, and possibly save the lives of others. One person may save up to eight lives, which means you could make an impact on someone, and their families lives. There are also other good outcomes of donating organs. It doesn't cost any money, which means you could be doing good, for free. Also, people, or close family, and friends who don't want you to die, may see a good outcome to a tragedy, which would mean your death wouldn’t be taken in vain. Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. …show more content…
Ninety percent of people who kill themselves have a psychiatric disorder. In some cases, it could be cancer, and other terminal problems, or just depression. Although, most mental disorders are treatable, most people cannot afford to pay for therapy, or medicine to help with their problems. With terminal problems, these things may be a lot more expensive, and not being about to get help may lead to someone possibly taking their own lives in a violent manner. The most common way to commit suicide is by a gunshot. A gunshot wound, to specific places, such as the head, may be horrific, and rather messy. I don’t think anybody would want to walk in on someone they cared about who may have done that to themselves. The second most common way to commit suicide, is by drug overdose. Most people see it as a simple way to do so, and get things over with, just do what you need to do, and sleep. Finding someone you knew, who tried to overdose, may cause stress. You wouldn’t be completely sure if they were to make it or not. PAS will prevent horrific deaths such as these, and be a more understandable, and reasonable method. Another important thing would be cost of treatment and medicine for their mental illness would decrease. Most therapists charge almost 200 dollars per session. Only few lower the cost to where you may be able to afford the help. If you need to take antidepressants regularly, it could cost up to $1,200 dollars a year. Which may not seem like a lot, but it could be to some people. Cost for help for depression, is $10,400 per year. Treatment for terminal illnesses, such as cancer, may be a lot more expensive. Some treatments for cancer, may be up to 30,000 per month, depending on what therapy is taken. Drugs, or medication monthly for cancer, also costs up to $4,500. The drugs for euthanasia are approximately seventy five, to 100 dollars. If someone is in financial debt, because of a disease they don’t even feel like dealing
