NOEL: (reading Dodong's letter) Dodong is asking for a way out, mentioning Dr. Kevorkian's
device. We need to gather the facts.
GODWIN: (nodding) Dr. Kevorkian developed a suicide machine with carbon dioxide, facing
legal actions for assisting those who weren't solely terminally ill.
---
NOEL: The ethical dilemma here involves the right to assisted suicide and the potential misuse,
especially for non-terminally ill individuals.
GODWIN: (serious) Autonomy and compassion support assisted suicide, but we can't overlook
concerns about the sanctity of life and the potential for abuse.
---
NOEL: (contemplating) Our options include allowing assisted suicide with strict regulations,
banning it entirely, or finding a middle ground, maybe requiring a terminal illness for eligibility.
GODWIN: (thoughtful) How do we balance these alternatives with virtues and principles?
---
NOEL: (discussing) We need to balance autonomy with the sanctity of life, considering
regulations to prevent abuse and ensuring our decision aligns with our underlying virtues.
---
NOEL: (thinking) We must evaluate the positive and negative outcomes, considering potential
misuse, impact on medical ethics, and societal implications.
---
NOEL: (decisive) Let's go to Dodong. Whatever his choice, we need to be there for him. He's
our friend, and we'll face this together.
