“Motor neuron disease” is likely ALS. Death from that is a miserable experience; a beloved family member of mine died from it in 1984. ALS is a guaranteed death sentence; if someone afflicted with that wants make the decision to end their life on their own terms, then so be it.

Thinking about it you could have a law that caters for the most extreme circumstances.

Maybe an application to a senior judge to sign off on each case.

Anyone has the right to commit suicide. Nobody has the right to coerce someone else to help with it.

If a person wants to end his life, he can do it himself.

[Robert DeLong]

I agree.

likely ALS. Death from that is a miserable experience;

I play senior softball with a 70+ great guy who has suffered with noticeable Parkinson's disease for years who was recently diagnosed with ALS......

I think he has resigned himself to the death sentence and is playing as much softball as he can while he still can.
