I personally am against this as it is prone for abuse. Assisted Suicide is a nice wrapping name, but really what it is pertains more to murder. If I am standing in the street, and I tell someone to shoot me, they will get tried for murder.

Doctors are healers, not killers. I have no real opinion as far as people whom are completley vegtabled out, but for others whom have used this practice in the past to escape pain, declining health, and to save 'Dignity' are just backing out, running away, and loosing more dignity in this process.

Yes, a persons life is thier own, but in a lot of these cases, people have been under the influence of medications, and are usually very much out of thier right mind. A few of Dr. Cavorkian's (positive this is mispelled) cases, the families of those whom were assisted in their suicides were supposedly coaxed, or convinced into doing it. sick.

Suicide is illeagal, so why make it legal as long as you have someone watch? AS I said earlier, I see it as "Mercy" only when the person is in such a declined state, and have no hope for revival. Like I said, I just see it being misused in so many cases as the "Pulling of the plug" has seemed to lead on.
