I said that it is rude, and it is.

To everyone who has this knee-jerk reaction against the Oregon law: when you have to hear the one you love moaning in pain because he's had cancer so long that the painkillers have stopped working, or they don't work because the cancer has spread to every organ and nothing will help - then come back to this thread and tell us all how holy you are because you had the moral fiber to let your loved one die in agony.

Assisted Suicide is ethically and morally wrong. Where does this stop, kill those that we feel are suffering in this world. I don't want to see anyone in pain and suffering, I understand that not all drugs help all those suffering, everyone has their own tolerance of pain, hopefully they will find a drug that helps those folks. Are you willing to approve of an assisted suicide of someone you love?
