After an Arizona man reportedly killed his wife to end her pain, the conversation around physician-assisted suicides has come back around. A group advocating for the choice says 64% of seniors are in favor it.

An elderly man admitted to killing his wife in Goodyear , claiming he put an end to her pain and suffering. This isn’t the first time we've seen what appears to be a mercy killing.As of July 8, Arizonans do not have the option for physician-assisted suicide. It’s been legal in states like Oregon since 1997, but patients have to meet requirements.

They were initially reported missing, but days later, loved ones learned they had died by assisted suicide.Groups like Arizona End-of-Life Options have been putting the measure in front of Arizona legislators for the last 16 years."I think we want to have choices and freedom and control over the way we live, and dying is a part of living. We want to have control over that too," Mark Savan, executive director for Arizona End-of-Life Options, said.
