Explanation / Answer
How do you feel about the Hmong rejecting hospital care and refusing medication instructions?
Hmong have their own medications. Physical illness is treated with various traditional curatives.
According to me Hmong should come for the Hospital care for chronic illness and rejecting hospital care and refusing medication instructions can be suicidal.
When do you have ultimate control over your health outcomes and under what circumstances are your choices limited?
There are few circumstances where one’s own choice doesn’t work.
Surgery –critical surgeries can’t be replaced even if we have ultimate control over our health outcomes.
Immunizations- Immunizations is a vital thing although we have ultimate control over our health outcomes
Is the decision to end one's own life a choice that everyone in America should have?
No. This choice shouldn’t be given.
How does assisted suicide different from the choice to elect Hospice care?
Hospice care are meant to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The aim is to enable patients to be comfortable and free of pain, so that they live each day as fully as possible.
Assisted suicide is the termination of life with the assistance of another person, especially the taking of lethal drugs provided by a doctor for the purpose by a patient suffering from a terminal illness or incurable condition.
