People have a right to Death with Dignity Assisted by the Medical Professionals This claim gives a discourse to an issue of policy because it brings to attention the question of compassion and necessity and medical ethics. The petition earnestly persuades the general audience to take a keen initiative on the issue of whether to allow a patient to die in dignity.  That those in the medical profession have a duty to assist patients to die in the manner, they so wish, especially if they are suffering a terminal disease.  A substantiation issue is as well subtly implanted in this claim in the sense that assisting a patient to die can be seen as a form of Physician-Assisted Suicide (PAS).  An issue of evaluation partly comes into this claim because a physician makes available a lethal substance to a terminal patient, who takes the lethal substance by themselves.

However, following whether or not the death penalty should be abolished, the criminals should be given a second chance to do better with their lives. There can be a good chance that the person is wrongfully convicted and they do not deserve the chance to be in jail, let alone be subjects of the death penalty. However, in extreme cases where the criminals jeopardize the security of the people in a state such as terrorism, mass killing of people, they should face the death penalty (Hochkammer, 2017). Utilitarian ethical theory tends to be in support of the issue of the death penalty. The reasoning behind the theory is that the normative kind of approach highlights the wrong or right conducted by an individual is solely based on a given outcome choosing a specific action where there were many.
