Do you think Assisted Suicide is Okay?

No I do not.

i agree with assisted suicide for terminally ill people under humanitarian reasons,you would put your pet "to sleep" to ease it's pain and suffering why would you not give a relative the same option if they choose to do it.i have seen a terminally ill relative pass away "naturally" and it was a horrible experience that i will not forget.nor will i want to burden my family with that experience.i do not want my kids to remembering me moaning and wailing in a coma as their last living memory of me.

I think it's a great thing under certain circumstances. My only reserve on it is death leaves you no chance at life. You never know if a cure is tomorrow. But when someone has a death sentence and is in pain and has unimaginable anxiety from the anticipation of death inching closer, I think they have a right to release.

I fully agree with your opinion. Personally I think it should be allowed under this circumstances, however I belive that if a person doesn't suffer from physical illness and want to die because of mental illness (understand psychosis or even depression) I would't allow assisted suicide, however I would understand if that person commit suicide, as not everyone can handle PTSD for example.

If a person is in a really bad condition and is going to die soon I don't see it much different from disconnecting comatose patient.
I'm not a religious person though. I understand that they can see it as a sin.

Sorry for bad english, I tried my best.

Within a few months, Canada will be passing a law that will legalize assisted suicide.

Would you support the legalization of assisted suicide? Why and why not?

I fully support it, people saying suicide itself is 'barbaric' and 'selfish' when in reality some people see no other alternative (i.e being paralysed, unable to speak, other really sad shit).

To ban to what I find a basic human right (to seek death when one wants to than it to come naturally); I think is the barbaric practice.

this is pretty stupid and will be abused as well as used as a scapegoat to murder cause a dead man cant defend himself if someone goes and claims they asked them to help them die or not, not only that but it will encourage people who normally could just get some quick help and feel better to go thru with suicide without much thought just cause they can legally do it
