    I believe you mean if your physician so chooses it. And they likely won’t unless there’s a good reason to do so.

            Why should any medical procedure a doctor does be the patient’s choice? I don’t think doctors should be forced to perform procedures they don’t want to perform. Why should a doctor be forced to kill a patient that wants to die?

              They aren’t saying doctors should be forced to do anything, they are saying if they want a assisted suicide that a physician can legally help.
