Myself, I like to think that I'm a compassionate person but I would still consider such a request to be murder. You?

Deciding for oneself the time and manner of one's death is the ultimate expression of self-determination.

If we can't even have a say in whether or not we can fucking die we're no better than someone else's property.

Demanding someone live, no matter what they want, is selfish and controlling and cruel.

Because it would hurt *your* feels to lose them isn't an excuse to torture someone else.

Hold on to your wallet.

My great state legalized physician assisted suicide years ago, there was no giant line of average people lining up to die, the numbers of people approved by 2 Doctors certifying they are terminal has held fairly steady at about 100 patients per year, with quite a few of those people never following through, they just felt more peace knowing they had the option if things became unbearable...

@All viewers

Hmmm....what would you do if a friend who had a terminal illness asked you to help them commit suicide?

If someone is terminally ill and in a lot of pain, with zero chance of ever making a recovery, why not let them die comfortably in a bed, dosed upto the eyeballs with opiates.... if that's what they want of course.

Weird how this is even an issue.

Aryan I see what you are saying, and I may have mislead you with my words so I apologize for that, but you didn't answer the question. What if a dear friend or even a family member with a terminal illness asked you to put them out of their misery. Say that God forbid your mother was at home in bed dying from cancer and in extreme pain and she asked you to kill her right there. Would you?

I would, as long as I was sure I wouldn't be arrested for it.
