There's no doubt in my mind that it should be legalized. It's my life, my morals, and my ethics. To hell with what yours are! Now, if I decide to kill myself in a way that harms or brings risk to others, that's different, but something like what we're talking about here?
How can anyone say that you have no control over your own life?
When it lines their pockets that's when. Notice how it's perfectly legal for:
a Hospital to let you die if they don't think you have money to pay for treatment.
Lifesaving treatment/drugs to be withheld if you can't afford to pay for them.
BUT, if you do have the money, but are brain-dead or otherwise out of direct control of yourself, or simply terminaly ill, you or your family must pay thru the nose while you linger on.
Sorry for the rant. Just a peeve of mine. A kid in the Chicago area died a year or two ago because they couldn't find a hospital that would admit him. He died on the door step of a hospital while staff argued policy. He was unlikely to be able to pay you see. No insurance.
