]]> 2022-01-31 11:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sussex_isc1/fw0uruiu1pb80brs/wish/2021026486 Paragraph with a refutation/rebuttal sussex_isc1 https://padlet.com/sussex_isc1/fw0uruiu1pb80brs/wish/2021029166 Position: People who are terminally ill should have the right to end their own life

Many people claim that basing medical end-of-life decisions on patient consent may lead to abuse, since many terminally ill patients are depressed, and, therefore, unable to make sound decisions on matters of such significance. While it is true that such patients may have a greater tendency to depression, we cannot justifiably assume all patients are depressed, or that depression, even when present, prevents a patient from consenting in a balanced and acceptable way. Depression is generally manageable nowadays, and a medical diagnosis can determine when a person is incapable of making such a decision. The issue of depression, therefore, should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, and not be a reason for prohibiting choice in general.
