From the supplier: Decisions about physician-assisted suicide (PAS) must be made in a cultural context. Policy makers cannot make a decision about PAS without making decisions about general health-care policy, particularly in the way it inequitably treats the poor and wealthy. Most religions object to PAS but there are conscientious dissenters within religions. Religious arguments should not be used in making laws supporting PAS because religious freedom could also be used as an argument against PAS.
