The argument for this paper is: “An individual, regardless of the state law, has the right to end their own life”

The 3 arguments you should focus on the paper are:

Argument 1: Possible: VSED? aka starving yourself to death is another option that patients lean towards. In translation: assisted suicide is more humane than the alternative.

Argument 2: If planned for in advance, organs can be harvested and donated therefore saving other lives.

Argument 3:Patients should have the opportunity to die with dignity, without fear that they will lose their physical or mental capacities in the process.
