first of all if a person had a disease where it destroyed their mind there is no way they could even ask for death, just because a person has a disease it does not mean they are dying, and no there might be something important that the person needs to see about life before they pass away.
if a person wants to die they have the right, wether they do it themselves or with the help of someone they trust in
Those that oppose assisted suicide I feel have not been exposed to someone close to them who wish to die as opposed to suffering an incurable disease. Granted, if they are incompetent in mind and body they cannot make a rational decision, however, the decision or even the discussion more than likely has been discussed in depth with family and clinical/medical/financial professionals. Speaking for myself, I have seen enough of respiratory problems to make me begin to fill out paperwork to include me in the pro-choice category of ending my life. The quality of life I choose makes more sense to me than being in a state of being cared for by others. When there is no hope I would not want to burden my family with my life and I want to go at my hand if at all possible again, to spare my family. Why wait to make the decision until I am no longer able to make the decision? What is the point in living when it is not really living that I am doing?
I believe that people having brain damaging dieases should be able to make teh choice to end their lives, beacause of the fact their brain is damaged. The disease could be making their descion for them. If the person was in pain I wouldnt know beacuse me, I believe in God nd murder and suicide is against God. But i wouldnt want someone to be in pain either. I believe a miracle could happen and they might be healed. It might be a long shot but you never whats happen tomarrow or in the furture
We think in generalities, but we live in detail.
it should be their choice if they want it then they should do what they believe. some people would rather not put up with a disease and they would rather not suffer. they would probibly want to do whats best for them. i personally wouldnt want to deal with a disease especially if it is a flesh eating disease. so i am for it.
if suicide isnt a crime, then why should helping someone, especially if they are ill, be a crime
