We should, but we have to be careful as to how far this will go 50 years from now; is this the thin end of a wedge? i.e. compulsory end to life at a specific advanced age or low level of health. Is this to eventually remove useless eaters from the herd?

Yes we should

I'll be shot down in a blaze of glory

When it comes time, I will not be at the mercy of a rest home or this filthy government......I have a special bullet for the end and will go the way I see fit :winkwink:

Why would you? You don't have the right to put what you want in your body, smoke what you want, drink what you want etc. You have already given up the idea that you own any of your property, the government can tax it away at will. So what would give you the idea that you have the right to die? lol

Try seeing someone you love just sit thier and not be able to move, its a fucking joke we cannot end a life because of this...

We are all under the delusion that we live in democratic countries where the will of the people comes first. We have representative government, we vote for people, they do what they're told by their political masters. I understand that even with technology now making it possible for citizens to vote from home, vote from their phones, that to run a country/state effectively it's better we not vote on every piece of legislation.

BUT on very important personal and moral issues - there should be a national referendum held every 5 years on those issues. The right to die would be at the top of the list along with the death penalty. I believe those who support the right to die would win a national vote.

Not sure if we should be allowed to vote directly on going to war or not.

If you cannot move, you have no choice in choosing to end your life.

If your a vegetable, your reliant on nurses, doctors and family.

I'm glad the Silk Road exists online, I am sure through that site you can buy that drug from Mexico they call 'death in a bottle', it's the drug the state uses to execute by lethal injection - it used to be a cocktail mixed with another drug but the European drug company who makes it now refuses to sell it to the US for use in executions. So now they use only this 'death in a bottle' drug alone. It's quick and painless.

What a person's feelings are about their own plans if they find themselves facing a prolonged terminal illness is one thing, when that day does arrive I am sure many change their opinion, the will to live/survive is strong in people, as is the fear of death for many.

We absolutely should and do have the right to end our lives regardless of what the government says. What are they going to do, indict us for suicide?
Also most life insurance policies contain a suicide clause; generally after the policy is 2 years old they will pay for suicide, but if anyone thinks it?s easy to kill yourself, think again. It?s way easier said then done.

I think when you get to a point where the pain and quality of life is so bad and there is no way of getting better its very easy to kill yourself.

I watched my dad who was only 54 at the time die of cancer. It was back in 85. He was a very healthy and fit person and always working. He went from that to laying in bed so thin and dribbling. I also remember how much pain he was in and how many times he told me, he wanted it to stop, even though he was on morphine for the pain it was the first time I ever saw my dad cry. Going back if I had the chance I would have helped him end it quickly instead of letting it drag on for his last 2 weeks.
