While I am no fan of assisted suicide, my father died of pancreatic cancer. His last few months were no picnic and I would not wish that on anyone. So I can understand it. But my main opposition does come from the slippery slope assisted suicide creates. How long will it be before “i can't stand the pain” turns into “I can't stand him, he is a pain””?

It is tough.

But in the long view, each of us owns our life and our duty to sustain it. That is not given to the State nor any other entity outside of our individual conscience.
