@Post: Assisted euthanasia is permissible in Switzerland, for example. Only for terminal medical ailments, of course.
Philosophically, you could go with either Nietzsche or Hegel, as far as voluntary death is concerned - the one believed it should be permissible, because unavaoidable, and on a merely logic More..

Then, at the arse end of your life, all dignity removed, your a burden on your family because you have dementia, they love the person you once were and that's why they help you, you cant control your bodily functions, when you're lucid you are in pain because you have terminal cancer and you have to rediscover that your wife or husband died a few years ago and its like learning it for the very first time all over again. Where you're thinking is so impaired that you start agreeing with the likes of shrekhead or Ranger79.
Then, you spend your final days in a nursing home, getting your arse wiped by some minimum wage monkey who takes the piss out of you with his/her friends to make up for the fact its a crap job and you shat on their last clean uniform.
Yes, I am all for it. But where do you draw the line? You'd have mobsters killing snitches using the argument "they weren't the joey "two fingers" they once knew. I say keep it illegal. That way, only the desperate would do it."
How can you guarantee they all wanted to die? I think it would be extremely hard to regulate "bring out yer dead!" from Monty Python springs to mind. "Hang on a minute, he's not dead" the one guy goes "as good as!" says the other.
My grandmother had terminal breast cancer. She managed to end it by witholding her own medicine so she deteriorated much faster. I would want to ask the cleaner a few questions like "do you actually think that those smarty looking things down the side of this pensioners bed are smarties?""

We do it to other animals. I think that it should be allowed in some cases, but lets not go overboard where we are performing euthanasia against people's wills. It is a tough topic, especially when it isn't up to the person, but the family members (then you have the courts involved and professionals could overide the wishes of family members. I disagree with state sponsored euthanasia. But if the individual or the family wants it, I am not opposed). Good topic, voted.

He told me himself.
If I were ever to have the need for suicide, I'd overdose on something pleasant. Like heroin. That'd be perfect.
Why is that so damned taboo? "
You are such an insufferable jerk.
Grrrr.....
You'd be the type who would try to resuscitate even when the person trying doesn't want to live. "

Funny I was just taking to my Father about this his cat was going to be put down because apperently it was just its time it couldn't walk very well didn't eat couldn't get to the litter box under its own power so they decided to put it down and end its suffering. After he told me this I said it should be leagal for people to do the samething if they are coherent enough to sign the papers and are in unbearable pain.

In the Uk we ind of have a legal euthanasia whilst people are on lufe support...they remove all fuel to the body so they basically starve to death which can take some time I'm sure. I'm not sure how much suffering is involved and I suppose it depends on the state of mind.
Doctorts over here have also been known to OD the really ill on morphine to speed up their death but if it became known that they have done this then they will kost certainly will be out of a job and maybe up on a manslaughter charge"
