I'm thinking no on the Euthanasia for all the reasons mentioned here, including the potential for abuse. But I have to vote yes for assisted suicide provided the person is in a mental state sound enough to request it, and that they can find a doctor willing to do it. I would go a step further than most on here, though, and not make terminal illness or extreme pain a pre-requisite. I disagree with Adios completely, it is my body, and my life, and I feel that I should have control of the decision about what's to happen to it. If I decide I no longer wish to live, why should I have to? Someone on here said that if you wish to commit suicide you can just go out and do it, the state shouldn't be involved. I would submit that doing it through assisted suicide would be much cleaner, and cause much less stress on those left behind. I mean, which is worse, to know that I went to a clinic somewhere, took a few pills, and died in my sleep, or to come home and find me sitting in an easy chair with my brains covering a wall?
