Kris: Above all I support choice. As long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of other citizens I can't see any reason not to allow people some choice about the manner of their own death. If I get to the stage where my life no longer seems worthwhile or bearable, I certainly hope that the law will allow, or at least turn a blind eye, to my having the opportunity to die with some assistance.
Same here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> - as I was not asked if I wanted to live (birth), I'd appreciate the choice for a dignified end (way and point of death) - so, I am thinking of taking precautions, as there is a Society for this in Europe and become a member.(Society for a humane death - Gesellschaft für Humanes Sterben).
BUT: it's me who wishes to choose - I want to achieve this. I would oppose very strongly to others wanting to choose for me - be it relatives who can't bear my suffering or groups who think, my life is unbearable for them. A volunary death has a long tradition in the Greek and Roman past - this is how I would like to choose - not it being done by "people deciding who has the right to live or die". Kiya
