I accidently stumbled upon a newsgroup where suicidal people share painless/easy methods to commit suicide. Not just old people that have health problems, but also young people.
So a question occurred to me..... under what circumstances should assisted suicide be allowed with help from a professional? What do you think? and why?
Personally I think that anyone with a durable death wish has the right to an, if needed, assisted, painless death. After all it is their life so they get to decide for themselves.
Some might say that it should not be allowed because it is selfish... in this case: Is not having the feelings of some people hurt more important than the right for a person to choose to end his own life?
