Tetraplegia is a serious neurological condition that causes complete or partial paralysis of the arms, legs, and trunk. It usually results from a spinal cord injury in the neck or from neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis. People with tetraplegia lose the ability to control their movements, often have difficulty breathing, eating, and communicating, and are dependent on others for daily care. For some, life with tetraplegia becomes unbearable. In countries like Switzerland and Canada, assisted suicide is legal, raising difficult ethical questions. In a society that talks about the right to life, perhaps we should also talk about the right to death.
