I'm all for it, but of course greedy people could pressure vulnerable relatives to ask for suicide, just to get rid of them and inherit their money. If there were reliable safeguards, then maybe.

with the way people with pain are being treated,as a result of so many drug addicts,I wish they would offer this too.

This can be very difficult as there are so many variables. Could I watch a loved one suffer? Probably not but then would I be like Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights and prefer a suffering Catherine to no Catherine? Analgesia and new technologies mean that even people in agony can find some relief. Technologies are meaning locked in people are on the verge of being able to communicate and I think within the next decade will be able to return to being actively involved in their life. The other issue is that despite every safeguard we can never be sure that granny isn't being ever so slightly influenced because the grandchild is financially over burdened and care of granny just adds to that. It is a slippery slope so I say I am against assisting someone to end their life. As a mental health nurse in practice, I encountered suicidal people all the time. I have no thoughts on people ending their own life, that is their choice.
