For question #3 for the article “Assisted suicide: Jack Kevorkian Was Just a Sideshow"
here is the italicized section the questions refers to:

It's about the (qualified) patient ending his own life when he chooses with (qualified) help.

finish this in class today, please complete it for homework.
