With the pending SCOTUS decision I found this to be an article worth posting.

"Whatever happened to jumping off a bridge?"
Jumping off the bridges (or out of the windows) is for stockbrokers and bankrupts; hanging is for gamblers and swindlers; poisoning or casting oneself in the path of a train is for the misbehaving girls from good families; and men were to shoot themselves. And how is one to shoot oneself when they disarmed the populace?

If I had to live in Britain, I may want such a service as well.

Not in the UK. You have to hit yourself with a rock until you are dead. Or just cheer for the visiting soccer team if you want it quicker.

I don't see how the federal government can regulate do-it-yourself suicide, provided that no drugs are involved. It's not commerce.
To: Phantom Lord
Perhaps we can get these people together with our friends the terrorists. Hello supply, meet demand. Oh, I'm such a capitalist!

Do insurance companies have to pay if someone commits suicide? or is there a 'Willie Loman' provision ?

You have to pay for that? What ever happened to jumping in front of a train?
To: Phantom Lord
Y'know, I'm getting to the point with this culture of death BS that I'm beginning to think that letting these people off themselves might not be a bad idea. I'm a full supporter of euthanasia by The Fine Art of Seppuku, if you want to die that bad, I'm not going to stand in your way.......
