It should be the persons choice, but there must be measures to insure their death does not impact anyone but themselves. (ie leaving debt for family, leaving their body in a hotel room, etc..)
Assisted suicide/right to commit suicide

Leaving debt for family..... well in my country at least, if the family does not accept the persons stuff, they don't get the debt either.
Leaving the body in a hotel room.... the problem is then that there are little other good options in many circumstances....
Maybe that is because people like you didn't want to provide the person with a means to commit suicide peacefully.
When did I say this? I even said, as much as I don't approve of it, I agree that it is not my right, however ONLY if the person is experiencing pain or suffering
Because everything else can be fixed or resolved.
Not everything. Also, what if the person doesn't want to deal with the problem, but rather commit suicide as a easy way out?
Then that is why we have mental institutions.
He preys on those people. Just as a con artist preys on lonely old women, he preys on depressed sick people.
I am for assisted suicide, not mass murder under the guise of assisted suicide.
whatever I don't know his whole story. But I still think that people should be allowed to commit suicide regardless of being healthy or not, as long as the death wish is durable.
some poeple just dont want to live full stop, and perhaps it would be better if they were dead, some people just cant live with things they ahve done, and what people have done to them
so should someone help them commit suicide?
Only if you'd want to, and it is their choice, then why not? (given that it is not illegal)
not if they're not sick, if they are seriously ill then yeah they should be able to, if someone just wants to die then NO, they shouldn't because that could be seen has murder
What is your definition of seriously ill? Do you believe that a person should only receive suicide assistance if they are suffering from a terminal illness? Diseases don’t affect everyone the same way. Some people have a higher threshold for pain. And some people are not afraid of death. A person that is only suffering from depression could experience more psychological pain than someone that has a terminal disease.
I believe that anyone that is suffering from physical or emotional pain should have the privilege of experiencing a peaceful death. No one should have the right to force someone to continue living. Anyone that has a problem with assisted suicide should be doing something to make this world a better place.
