Topic - Physician assisted suicide

Different people have different opinion about physician assisted suicide where some people are in favor of it whereas other are against it. In my opinion definitely it is morally acceptable to perform active euthanasia or physician assisted suicide because there are some diseases which are incurable and in which patient has to face unbearable pain. In those cases doctors can help in performing physician assisted suicide to end the life of the patient in a legal and proper way. Butc condition is that the patient has given his condition for such suicide.

According to me, the physician assisted suicide is ethical because it can be given in very rare cases in which patients are going through with incurable disease and unbearable pain. Many diseases which are incurable and very painful. And, If the patient give his own consent that he want to end his life legally with physician assisted suicide then it is ethical and right also. Because no one wants to die but there are some situations and conditions which are beyond the control of human and can't be treated, in such cases it's better to release the patient from such incurable disease and unbearable pain with the help of physician assisted suicide. Doctors have a moral obligation because in many countries euthanasia and physician assisted suicide is legal and authorised by law because it's purpose is to release the patient from critical situation.
