Neuburger English 101-102 20 February 2012 Summary Essay A Case of Assisted Suicide There are many people that would agree with those critics that think Jack Kevorkains assisted suicide is not morally correct. It is someones personal decision whether they believe the life they live is worth living. There is not any difference between simply killing yourself or asking Kevorkain to accompany you with your plan of suicide. Kevorkain goes through ever possible step to insist that Janet as well as her husband, Ron, were both okay with this. He states, I had already prepared authorization forms signifying Janets intent, determination, and freedom of choice, which she readily agreed to sign (321). People assume that those who commit suicide do not understand what they are doing, but if someone can sign a paper telling the world that they do in fact realize what the consequences of going through with this are, then they should be able to choose their own fate. This is the moment when Janets husband Ron and friend Carroll, signed her life away. At this time, Ron and Carroll also signed a statement attesting to Janets mental competence (321). 179 Works Cited Kevorkain, Jack. A Case of Assisted Suicide.
