I am taking Bioethics class this semester since I am majoring in Nursing. There were a lot of ethical cases that we discussed during the class such as the topic of lies, use of euthanasia, the relationship between patients and physicians. In different situations, I need to put myself both sides of the situation. For example, should the assisted suicide be allowed? I need to think as the patient himself, the physician himself and also the family members.
