I-1000

The discussion about I-1000 started a long time ago. It is not the first time we discuss about helping people to die. I-1000 will help people who will die in 6 months. The doctor can help them if they want to die earlier and less paint full. Doctors can already prescribe drugs who help people to feel less pain but they can’t admitter them. Oregon is the only state who allows helping people to die. Facts are that many people wanted to die because they suffered so much pain every day. The drugs they got from their doctors weren’t strong enough to make them feel no pain. But they couldn’t die painless because there was no law who allows doctors to help them to die.
With I-1000 People who are a hundred percent sane have the chance to say they want to die. They have to say that twice. The second time they have it to say after at least 15 days. If they didn’t change their mind they will have finally the right to die. People who say twice they want to die don’t want to life anymore so why we shouldn’t allow them to die? We should give them the opportunity to decide about their own life. We don’t have the right to forbid them to die. That’s their decision.
Despite what some may claim, Initiative-1000's statistics show that it has hardly been abused. In the last decade, only 1 in 1000 people who died in an Oregon hospital actually took lethal prescriptions. If this privilege was being abused by Oregon doctors and families, this number should be much higher than it is.
There is no reason to prolong the suffering of a patient who is expected to die in six months anyway. If someone doesn't want to spend their last days in misery, they should have every right to end it early if they so choose. No one is forcing these people to do anything; there are very few ways in which Death With Dignity can be abused and those ways are already covered by the law.
There are many cases where this option can be used. This painkiller is not to be confused with any type of suicide or assisted suicide. This is a choice made by the victim who feels that their last 6 months would be too ubearable to live, keep in mind these victims will be dying soon anyways. Even if people do not decide to use the prescribed drugs they will feel much safer just knowing that the option is out there and knowing that if the pain becomes too much they can end it at any time. Family members may also be positively affected, if they know that the person is going to pass away they can be sure that they passed away before they had to withstand a great amount of pain.
Certain procedural precautions have been taken in order to ensure that the people using the drug are mentally stable. In order to get the doseage you are required to be checked off by several different doctors. This will ensure that anyone who partakes in use of this drug is mentally stable and not clinically depressed, it is a precaution to make sure that they are using it for the right reasons.
Experts will argue that is entirely the persons choice and doctors will not factor in to their choice at all, they will not recommend that they use the drug but only let them know that the choice is there. Fewer than 100 doctors were invloved in prescribing the lethal doseage. Many people, including family members of users, have said that they all felt much safer in knowing that an option such as this exists. People have actually commited suicide in order to prevent their families from having to take care of them, the lethal doseage also gives them another option. There are not many people that decide to use the drug but it is becoming common in more cases, people will even travel in order to be able to use the lethal doseage. All in all it positively affects most if not all cases, even if you don’t decide to use due to personal or maybe even religious beliefs it is entirely your own choice.
