Jerry Fensterman shared his own personal experiences and thoughts more than just stating the facts and arguing his point. He also stated that he did not know if he could ever decide to have wanted assisted suicide. However, that he could understand where someone could choose to want to do so. His arguing point was more of a, “Just be More Open Minded” about the idea.   Another reason that this essay was more persuading may be because my mother-in-law has breast cancer and it has spread throughout her body. She will never be in remission. So because I can see what she goes through on a personal level and can somewhat relate to the authors’ feelings may be why I favored this essay as well.
