Suitable For Forgiveness.
A doctor is there for the well being of his or her patients. Knowing his patients is part of the job; he knows why they are there, and he can sympathize with their situations. Making friendships with long term patients isn't unusual; therefore, assisting a terminally ill patient in commiting suicide is an act suitable for forgiveness. The friendship between a doctor and his patients can go deeper than what society sees. If the patient wants to be relieved from their suffering and asks for it from a friend we see the bad we never see the good in what they were doing. Society has no right to judge a doctor for assiting a friend is a suicide that would most likely not be committed if the situation was not the way it was. There is no other way out for the patient and the doctor knows this and knows the pain they feel. He suffers with the patient. In the end what the doctor has done was done only to end a friends burdens.

I love the way you wrote this. It was very simple, but also very powerful. You explained yourself very well, and I totally agree with what you had to say. The sentence that started "Society has no right to judge a doctor" has a confusing structure, but I got what you were saying.
