APPENDICES

As dying individuals begin to articulate their desires to be done with the painful process of suffering and decline， relatives will participate in the dialogue， adding their own perspectives on the option of assisted suicide. They may quite reasonably desire to get on with their lives， and in this new context of considering assisted suicide， they may experience these desires more strongly. Where they once felt great responsibility to put up with the pains and inconveniences of an extended process of dying， they may no longer feel it necessary to hide their impatience with the process. And they may even find themselves emphasizing their competing responsibilities to healthy children and spouses. Where they would once have felt ashamed to feel these things， and may even now be surprised to hear themselves saying them， they may come to feel free to have them recognized. Once assisted suicide ceases to be illegal， its many advantages to busy relatives will become readily apparent. More than merely an acceptable form of ending， relatives and friends may come to see it as a preferred or praiseworthy form of death. They will become comfortable with considering the merits of assisted suicide in relation to their loved ones because it will be designated a socially good end.
Managed-care organizations will also be involved. If dying sooner is more cost efficient， their profit-based concerns will-make them prefer patients to choose assisted suicide， and their sense of responsibility to shareholders will reinforce this preference. Economic interests may still seem crass in relation to dying patients， and yet we are already accustomed to recognizing them in the context of treatment， as well as in all other contexts of daily. Life. When we legalize assisted suicide， it too becomes a part of daily life. Everyone is allowed to have and to express their own interests in relation to acts of assisted suicide， once it is viewed as an accepted patient alternative， as an established， approved ending.
The appeal of assisted suicide to relatives and friends and to healthcare organizations is easy to comprehend. In legalizing assisted suicide， we will be legalizing a method of death which will be very much more convenient as well as more cost-effective than current methods of dying. In our society， where almost everyone is pressed for time and many are pressed for money， individual notions of agency and the fabric of social agency relations may evolve very quickly to reflect its conveniences and cost efficiency. The agency of medical doctors is likely to remain more conflicted， insofar as healing remains their primary role. Many doctors may find it difficult to change hats and aid people in dying. But as doctors come to be employed primarily by managed-care organizations， they will inevitably come to reflect the efficiency concerns of their employers.
