The most determined people do not always choose wisely, no matter how well they are counselled. But it would be wrong to deny everyone the right to assisted death for this reason alone. Competent adults are allowed to make other momentous, irrevocable choices: to undergo a sex change or to have an abortion. People deserve the same control over their own death. Instead of dying in intensive care under bright lights and among strangers, people should be able to end their lives when they are ready, surrounded by those they love.
框架：指出问题，提出不应因这一个问题而否决某个方案，举出相关平行例证，回到问题本身做总结，并深化情感。
译文：最有决心的人并不总是明智地做选择，无论他们获得的建议有多好。 但是仅仅因为这个原因就剥夺每个人安乐死的权利是错误的。 有能力的成年人可以做出其他重大的、不可逆转的选择: 做变性手术或堕胎。人们应该对自己的死亡拥有同样的控制权。人们应该能够在准备好的时候，在爱的人身边走向生命的尽头，而不是在重症监护室晃眼的灯光下、陌生人的包围中离世。
