in the years they've had assisted suicide, very, very few people have chosen it

They were all waiting for this Supreme Court ruling today.

I can see an entirely new profession springing forth. Say I'm not smart enough to be a doctor. Say we have a two year study in learning assisted suicide. How hard can it be? Learn how to insert a needle?

Could be big money here in the new "Suicide Assistant" positions for the dumber among us.

Sheesh. Get the gun, pull the trigger, and keep the government out of it.

Huge bump for Fishtalk.

If you really wanted the government out, why have the government limit the choices only to painful or violent or bloody or traumatic ones?

Um, so you're saying that all these terminally ill people have miraculously been hanging on until now to commit suicide? I don't think so.

My point is that even with the option there, very few people are choosing it. There simply isn't a big rush to die. Even people in immense pain are looking at it and saying, no, I've decided not to. Opponents had claimed the opposite -- people would line up by the thousands to commit suicide.
