Dr. Braddock and Dr. Tonelli use Aristotelian rhetoric in their article entitled “The Doctor Helps You Die: An Ethical Argument in Medicine.” The authors provide examples of logos while providing statistics on physician-assisted suicide. In the article you will find pathos that will offer different emotions within the topic. These authors have a lot of ethics or many years of credentials in the medical field. In this article, Dr. Braddock and Dr. Tonelli explain the difference between physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. Physician-assisted suicide is “the practice in which a physician prescribes, at the patient's request, to a terminally ill and competent patient, a lethal dose of a drug, which the patient intends to use to end his or her life” (Braddock and Tonelli ). ). The authors then describe that euthanasia occurs when the doctor administers the lethal drug. They write this article with the intent to inform the public about this highly controversial topic. Doctors explain the positive side of assisted suicide like this: “Medical aid in dying is ethically justifiable” (Braddock and Tonelli). They write that people who favor assisted dying are committed to respect, justice, compassion, individual freedom, and honesty for the sick and dying. The authors then explain that, however, "doctor-assisted suicide is ethically inadmissible" (Braddock and Tonelli). They give examples that could have a negative impact on society, such as religion, the potential for abuse, false diagnosis or prognosis, and how this could be seen as a contradiction to the Hippocratic Oath. An example of logos in this article is “ Oregon citizens passed Measure 16, the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, on November 16, 1994… middle of paper… practices. Their article provides a glimpse in-depth statistics from the physician's perspective on physician-assisted suicide. They also provide many emotional examples of why this topic is so controversial.
