Currently, approximately five states have legalized physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia. This slow turnaround is a far cry from what happened more than thirty years ago. At the time, only Oregon had made it legal for terminally ill patients to choose assisted death if necessary. “One concern has been that disadvantaged populations would be disproportionately represented among patients who chose assisted suicide. The experience in Oregon suggests that this has not been the case. In the United States, socially disadvantaged groups have so included variable ethnic minorities, the poor, women and the elderly... Available evidence does not support widely expressed concerns that medically assisted suicide will be sought by those who are socially disadvantaged or make demands based on lack of access to palliative care, poor support social or financial needs” (Ganzini par. 13). This simply shows that people have expressed their concern in the wrong opinion assisted suicide should be completely out of the question. People should instead find solutions to remedy these concerns. One tip is to create a list of clauses that prevent people from taking advantage of them. Dave Andrusko is a contrary advocate
