Do you feel like it should be your choice when to check out of life?
Is the time divinely appointed? Should assistance be allowed or needed for that matter?
Do you have a responsibility and work still here to do? Do you think it's cowardly to check out early? Or do you think you should be able to choose how to go out?

If a person is terminally ill, it should be their right not to suffer in pain to the end.
-
kind of depending on whats going on in your life, if youre suffering you shouldnt have to be here, i dont believe in killing yourself cause you could botch things up and make your life even worse, ive heard of people shooting themselves in the head and ending up blind, thats not worth it, but if a doctor did it that would be a different story, they put animals out of their misery so i dont see why they cant do it with people

Jewels Vern The big problem is there is no way to discern between "assisted" suicide and "imposed" suicide. For example we used to put mentally incompetent people in hospitals, until people figured out that was only a jail for rich relatives. -

"Self-service" or willing suicide has appeared in stories from Kurt Vonnegut, Arthur C. Clarke, Star Trek, films such as Soylent Green, Logan's Run, and of course graphically in Futurama. The question of anonymous access is whether it is ethical to make suicide easily available to persons who might be suffering from treatable chemical or hormonal depression, without requiring diagnosis and counseling. For the terminally ill, there should be a better option than being drugged into an extended coma.
