If you believe in that kind of thing. Most people don’t like to have religious groups imposing their morality on what they do with their body. This isn’t like an abortion, where an innocent party with no say in the matter is killed off, this is about people in extreme pain having the right to end their life by their own free will....

My real problem comes when somebody tries to lure medical professionals into helping them commit suicide. “Helping” someone commit suicide is in fact homicide. It is a very dangerous precedent.

There are instances where people are ruled incompetent and sometimes without relations to look out for their best interests. While not in a coma, the state has declared that some people would be better off dead.

If you are walking around society and confess to having suicidal thoughts, you will be put under analysis and treated for “depression”. In some hospitals, they will advise it. That puts suicidal thoughts in someone’s head.

How much “free thought” is there to the decision?
