You are employed as geriatric assistant A resident tells you that he is saving sleeping pills so he can commit suicide He has terminal cancer and is in a great deal of pain What should you do?

Only you can answer this question for yourself. Everyone is going to have a different answer depending on their beliefs. Some would say it is his life to do with as he see's fit. It's nobodies business but his. Some have a belief that life should be prolonged to the bitter end no matter how painful or drawn out it might be. Since you have asked the question here, it is doubtful you can live the rest of your life without telling someone about this. Depending on where you live, the general feelings of law enforcement and your employers, your job may be in trouble. Over zealous D.A. might try to prove assisted suicide or I believe the term is murder by omission. Letting someone die when you could have done something to stop it. Of course if you can keep your mouth shut, let the man do what he wants and know it was how he wanted to go. No easy answer any way you look at it. Personally, I think when a person wants to go and a doctor agrees there is no cure, he or she should be given a pill and allowed to go to sleep with some dignity. Just my opinion. None of us are really in a position to judge what is right for another in this situation or say how much pain and suffering they should endure.
