The general theme is the same with the Wednesday session. But the mentioned aspects are different. When we talked about physician-assisted suicide, we want to figure out answers to some other questions first:
1. If the physician-assisted suicide is protected as a basic human right, will some one who would not have commited suicide die because of the existence of this kind of seemingly easy and convenient choice?
2. Humanitarianism faces a dilemmma, for both taking one's life away and leaving a person in endless pain are considered to be inhumane.
3. Does life by inherent has its value and meaning simply by its existence? Is the fact that one is alive more meaningful or important than the fact that he is actually suffering and is determinded to end his life?
4. Some laws permit one to sign off some contracts to let physician end his or her life. But it requires that this is done when the person is rational. But what is the definition of being "rational"? Are psychiatrists and physicians really reliable to give verification?
