And you still may, and you do not need the sanction of the state to do it. All you would need to do, God forbid, is simply purchase a firearm and carry out your wishes.

I see. Because of other's reservations, I am to be legally restricted in my choice of method of my own demise. Rather than face a peaceful, painless death by painkillers, I should be forced to stare down the barrel of a gun and endure the exhilarating thrill of 00 buck tearing my skull apart. Later, my family should have to encounter and clean up the mess, and my parting gift to the world would be a statistic for Sarah Brady to use to campaign for gun control.

Excuse me if I don't take you up on this offer.

There are thousands of means available to you, should you wish it. I do not desire that you use them, nor will I carelessly list more than I have. I'm certain you're smart enough to find them if you wanted to badly enough. You do not need the state to do it, and if you would not have the will to do it without the aid of others, perhaps it means you should not do it at all. Statements are easy to make, and not necessarily indicative of a true desire to end one's life. Only the truly desperate or serious will do it themselves. It's the perfect remedy to weed out those who are simply flirting with the idea, and it doesn't require compromising the profession of those who promised to "do no harm."
