Subject: A Daughter's Tale: #4

The burden of responsibility that would be placed on Janet's family, physician and friends would be indescribable if she chose to commit suicide. Even though she wants to maintain "quality of life" suicide is never an option. Both Janet and her family will suffer a great deal of pain (especially her family watching her suffer). But the best resolution is to stay alive. With all of the technological advances society encounters today, if Janet does not commit suicide, there may be a treatment of a cure for AD later. If she is considering committing suicide, this will effect her family by them monitering her perceptions of her health and well-being. I think it would also be better for the family to have Janet die a natural death when her body was ready, rather then her commit suicide, inflicting pain on herself, and something that the family could have possibly prevented. With AD, the family already knows that they cannot prevent it.
