In this source, Derseet al. argue that Physician‐assisted death (PAD) is one of the most strong debated public policies and moral issues across the U. S. Also, the authors provide that a rising number of jurisdictions have already legalized the practice under definite circumstances. In this work, the authors review the key concepts as well as terms in the continuing PAD debate. The authors also discuss the moral arguments for and against physician‐assisted death. Furthermore, the book provides a discussion on the current legal status on PAD in the United States as well as in other nations. The authors’ expansive knowledgeand experience make the source credible. For example, Arthur R. Derse is a medical physician and bioethicist while John C. Moskop holds a Ph.D. in Bioethics.

This is a journal on PAD. In this journal, the authors provide an analysis of a study that aimed at determining the predictive value of interpersonal as well as personal variables in the pursuit of PAD. According to this journal, depression, sense of spirituality, hopelessness, social support, andstyle of attachment are one of the factors that motivate people to pursue PAD. The authors’ expertise makes the journal credible.For example,all the authors are registered,nurses. Another thing that adds to the credibility of the source is the fact that it is based on primary data gathered through an investigation.

This book explores the points for and against the legalization of PAD. It mainly focuses on the risk of abuse as well as the possibility of slippery slopes. The paper also reviews the justification for undertaking euthanasia for permanently unconsciouspatients. The book makes a conclusion by considering all the possible routes to the legalization of assisted death, both political and judicial. The author has vast experience,and he has written widely on this issue-this makes the book a credible source.
