Assisted Suicide

[elizabethann]

If we are able to euthanize animals and end their suffering, then we sure as hell should be able to do the same for people. I NEVER want to go through what my Mom went through. Physician assisted or not (my hero is Dr. Kevorkian), when the time comes, you can be damn sure that I will do what I believe is right for me. We live in a free country, not a dictatorship.

Ditto.

I'm for it, with strong safeguards against corrupt physicians. I agree that if we can have a suffering animal PTS, then why can't a human being make that decision for him/herself?

I am for it too. Years ago I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder that was extreemly painful and for 3 solid weeks, I could not eat or sleep because of the intense pain, nothing the doctor gave me, would give me any relief.. If I had to live my life in that kind of pain, I knew what I would do and I told my doctor that. It is the individual person choice of how much pain they can/should suffer. Until I went through that, I couldn't decide how I felt about assisted suicide..
