This four-page undergraduate paper argues that doctor assisted suicide should be legalized as soon as possible. The author constructs a clear statement of his position and supports his thesis with documented sources, examines the arguments for and against euthanasia, and concludes that the right of a person to die should take precedence over other conflicting rights. In the final analysis, terminally ill human beings have the primary and inherent right to refuse medical treatment, for they are the ultimate moral guardians of their own lives and thus the most important authority to be considered; not doctors, lawyers, insurance companies, nor the government.
