Biller-Adorno, Nikola. "Physician Assisted Suicide." www.nejm.org. New England Journal of Medicine, 11/4/2013. Web. 22 Oct 2013. <http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMclde1302615#t=cldeOpt2>

An article in direct opposition to the previous one, provides arguments for allowing the patient access to Physician Assisted Suicide.  Argues that since the physician is attempting to alleviate the suffering of the patient, they are still doing their job.  Claims that a physician's job is not only to preserve life, but to prevent suffering and to assist their patient however they can.

I feel that this article is acceptable to use, as long as its companion article is also used.  It provides solid information on the pros of physician assisted suicide, as well as being clear and fairly easy to read.
