Oh absolutely. So long as YOU choose to kill yourself, meaning the mythical "you", then get a damn gun and do the deed. Again, I must ask, they gonna put you in jail?
Come on this matter is something the government, federal or state, should NOT even be getting involved in.
What's happening here is the beginning of state-sanctioned "suicide-mills", a real money-maker. Could even boost tourism.
It has nothing to do with states' rights, come on. If a state passes a law that allows mad husbands to kill their argumentative wives it doesn't mean it's okay just cause a state passed the law.
If you people don't see what's happening here then maybe it's me. But WHY do doctors et al have to get involved in this? It's something I don't think should be legislated in any matter. With no legislation, one can still handily kill themselves without their corpse being thrown in the slammer.
By even having such a thing on the books ANYWHERE, the door is opened. Who knows where this will lead. Depressed people can demand assisted suicide. In a moment of despair I can ask that I be freed from my pain. And don't give me that stuff about two doctors, so-called strict restrictions. I'm sure anyone can find two doctors to sign the form. Soon enough the lawmakers will begin making exceptions.
If it's that bad, do it YOURSELF, don't go demanding the lawmakers make laws just for little ole you. No one can stop you if it's what is really wanted.

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to walk walk to a gun store, much less walk, much less leave their own bed, much less breath without being torn apart by agonizing pain.
Agreed. I also support the majority against the Big Government Nanny approach. Get the government out of peoples' lives, and let them make their own choices!

Agreed. It's ridiculous that the legislation has required a prescription to obtain a lethal dose. What kind of Culture of DisrespectTM would say that the government has more right to run an individual's life than he does himself!? I'm glad that conservative, individual rights have been protected!
Anything that is legal for you to do, is legal for the others to help you with - at your request and initiative, goes without saying.
