I think what needs to occur is a legal distinction between assisted euthanasia and honoring a person's inalienable rights
1)life
2)liberty
3)pursuit of happinessif those conditions are no possible, they have the right to
1) die with dignityThere is a huge difference between allowing someone to die of old age and assisting in a suicide!
I have attempted suicide three times. Each time was met with medical intervention; then pyschological therapies and medication.
And the doctor's were correct in doing so- I suffer from recurrent major depression and when those attempts occur, I am not making a rational decision based on reality.
My father is. Yes, he has symptoms of depression now; but he was less depressed when he was being left alone!!!
