Executive Summary forLife Support Continuation for Brain-Dead Patients
Healthcare professionals, Family members, Religious groups, all have their supportive reasons why a person should be left on life support. The term brain dead or death was first described by Mollaret and Goulon as “coma de`passe` in 1959. In America for a patient to be brain dead means that there is no brain activity and in other medical terms, life has expired(Ceylan, 2019).
Healthcare professionals may want to continue life support for donor transplants to save another person’s life, Family members often keep members on life support in hope that a loved one may possibly recover not taking into the consideration the mental damage it may cause to other family members. Religious faiths also play a vital role in the continuation or de-continuation of a life once a person is deemed brain dead.
During my research I will provide the supporting factors for each stakeholder's claim of why a person should be allowed to remain on life support, providing the pro’s and cons and give you my opinion on why each stakeholder’s claim is valid and why all three are present at the time of continuation or de-continuation. Additionally, I will provide the legal ramifications of a living will, do not resuscitate order, and power of attorney.

Executive Summary for Assisted Suicide
Overview
Assisted Suicide is a very controversial topic. The main focus in any case involving assisted suicide is "is it justifiable". Even though this is the patients decision, people still feel like it's unethical for a doctor to perform this. The case that I will be looking into is Myers v. Schneiderman. In this case the Plaintiff (Myers) wanted "relief to permit “aid-in-dying,” which would allow a mentally competent, terminally ill patient to obtain a prescription from a physician to cause death".
The issue that many people have with assisted suicide is that it may be a "temporary" feeling. In the moment you may feel all hope is lost but this a big decision that will cost that person their life. Others feel as though the wishes of a terminally ill patient should be considered. In most of the cases I have read, they reject the motion to have a physician administer lethal drugs to aid in ending a person's life.
Going deeper into research I will select the laws that are surrounding assisted suicide. Courts seem to have ethical reasoning for denying each motion. So many people are affected by this decision whether it is done or not. Some just feel like they don't want to endure the pain. The two questions that come to mind are, is this their right to chose assisted suicide or is it unethical because the very person who took an oath to do all they can to save a life, is now taking it?
