 Distinguishing Suicide from Physician-Assisted Suicide
SUICIDE is taking your own life by your own hand and in your own way.
You do not ask or expect others to help you.
PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE means that you ask a doctor to write
a lethal prescription, which you will take. Without the doctor's
help, you cannot take your own life.
EUTHANASIA is the act of killing someone who otherwise would suffer
terribly from an incurable disease. This is sometimes called "mercy
killing."
