How do you feel about the Hmong rejecting hospital care and refusing medication instructions?

People who are living in isolated mountain villages considered as Hmong. They have their own medications. They follows many traditional curatives to treat physical illness. Another reason is they don't have the global exposure. So they don't know the greatness of modern curative methods. So they are rejecting hospital care and medication instructions.

In my perspective they should allow hospital care and medication instructions in their culture for better life.

When do you have ultimate control over your health outcomes and under what circumstances are your choices limited?

When we take health care Then we have ultimate control over our health outcomes. 20's adults have more control on their health outcomes eventhough they didn't take health care.

There are few chances where one's own choices doesn't work.

Surgery: Although we have ultimate control over our health outcomes critical surgeries can't be replaced.

Immunizations: Immunizations is a vital thing although we have ultimate control over our health outcomes.

Is the decision to end one's own life a choice that everyone in America should have ?

No. That choice should n't be given.

How does assisted suicide different from the choice to elect Hospice care?

The motto of the Hospice cure is give comfort and quality of life to people in the final phase rather than cure.It focuses on patients comfort.

Assisted suicide is the termination of life with the assistance of the another person. In many cases doctor provides lethal drugs for the purpose by a patient suffering from incurable condition.
