Doctor- assisted suicide is the most popular topic among medical professionals currently. And their opinion is one of the most important opinions in this process because they are the specialists that are going to help the patients who want to end their lives with their assistance.
One of the things to be considered is what I found when I was doing my search about the opinion of the medical community. Knowing that it is too complicated and lots of considerations are to be taken into account when giving an opinion in such a critical issue like this, I tried to find something about a professional opinion from the Canadian Medical Associations where I came across lots of opinions that are against assisted suicide. And that makes me actually think again after knowing that, would I feel confident enough to do it considering that some of the professionals don't think that it is a good idea while in the same time, more doctors are for the legalization of doctor-assisted suicide. According to "the globe and mail" newspaper %44,8 of the Canadian doctors support the legalization of doctor- assisted suicide while %41,7 of them think it should not be legalized.

The Canadian Medical Association has already started to open the door for a discussion this issue. However, one assumes that all people who want to be doctors share the same dream of saving lives where saving people's lives would be for them the success that they dreamed of all their lives until they became doctors. Their dreams while performing their profession would be finding solutions and treatments to end peoples suffering and pain rather than ending their lives. Diseases would be the thing they would fight and try to find treatment s and cures. I don't think anyone dreaming to be a doctor will even think of ending people's lives.
