I've seen death and the slow process of dying. I have a best friend with terminal cancer say "Living is hard, Dying is harder". It's a personal choice to end suffering and I believe in it. We are able to put our pets out of their misery, why should humans suffer?

If the person is of sound mind but not body, I am for it. I watched my father inlaw beg his doctor to give him something to end his life, it was heartbreaking. A person should have the right to ask their doctor for meds they could take on their own to peacefully end their life.

I support a person's right to choose it.

It Will be kind to the terminally ill person.

I am Canadian, and we have it here..but we call it assisted dying..That is the point,, calling it assisted suicide is rife with problems of interpretation..Here it is strictly controlled in the sense that doctors are involved in the decision, usually more than one, and it is still controversial..If you changed the name perhaps it would be less frightening to those who feel that assisted suicide sounds like something you could just pick up a bottle of at a corner store...

If ends the pain or the person in question won't have a decent life quality, I'm in favour.

I would have voted for Jack Kevorkian for president.

Our society values longevity over quality. I've never understood that. In my industry I see people all the time who are suffering, in pain just waiting to die. Its heart breaking. We need better options.

I’m in favor of it.
I was a Hospice RN and got misconceptions about it being the ‘same’ as euthanasia. I’ve heard the same about assisted suicide, but I disagree. It’s a valid choice for end of life, just as Hospice is.
I wish it was legal here, too.

I have told all my children that if I ever contract an illness/disease/accident where my quality of life it essentially non-existent, that I want to be euthanized if at all possible. I do NOT want to be a burden to either myself or my family, and I do want want to be slobbering in the corner with no awareness of anything going on.

I also have a living will, and a POA with my youngest son listed. My youngest son lives with me and is well aware of what I want and don't want if something happens to me. He also is a hardheaded cajun and will make sure my wishes are heard. The only person I'm actually concerned about is my religious sister, but I feel (hopefully) I've taken cared of that by making sure my children know my wishes.

Why can we not do for a person, with their wishes known, what we do for a beloved pet? My living will only goes so far.

We OWN our bodies NOT the Churches nor the religions, I truly believe that should one be in a situation of having a terminal illness/disease, etc, then IT IS their right to elect to end their life with all the dignity and decency possible rather than be left to suffer just because some totally Imaginary Sky Daddy and its deluded followers say No.
Shit, we don't allow our beloved pets/animal friends to suffer do we, so why should we have to suffer?
