I don't think so. It will just open up a can of worms. It is unfortunate to see a loved one suffer but they will ultimately die and it is for eternity. If assisted suicide is legal, where do you draw the line? You may have a younger person with an disease like AIDS who is suffering horribly, and he wants to die so why can't he? The problem arises when they find a cure for AIDS - now this person never had to die. What if you have someone who is suffering from severe lifelong depression, and no therapy or medication has ever worked? Shouldn't they have the same right to die, even though they are otherwise healthy? It would be too difficult to draw the line here.
