A terminally ill person will be able to leave this world without having to go through the process of intense suffering predicted by a doctor. Why would a human being suffer in his last days on earth? Would they really live or would they remain imprisoned in a hospital room for the remaining days as depressed and out of control of their lives as before? They lose their quality of life. Marc Siegel, MD, talks about the two roles of a doctor, prolonging life and alleviating suffering. Explain how they are sometimes in conflict with each other and how the number one priority is to respect the patient's wishes. He says that they, “…when pain prevails, when the patient is in agony, when morphine reduction cannot restore quality of life. When the only choice is pain or death, doctors routinely – with the advance approval of their patients – help them choose death” (821). The terminally ill patient does not suffer at the moment of death as he would if he let nature take its course. Not only would they have a painless death, but they could choose when, where and with whom they wanted to die. They will be able to say as many goodbyes as they want, they will be able to leave this world having made peace with everyone, and they will have the opportunity to truly enjoy the quality of life. They will have the opportunity not to go through all the harrowing mental conditions
