Someone who has a choice between dying a long and drawn out and painful death or getting it over with quickly wants to end it quickly but of course you know better what they should have. And this somehow makes me a godless liberal. Not even going to entertain the word "evil" here...but it's a pretty good choice for people who want to cause unnecessary pain to others.

Look up the very definition of suicide and what causes suicide.

Suicide is the act of intentionally causing one's own death. Risk factors include MENTAL ILLNESS such as DEPRESSION, BIPOLAR disorder, SCHiIZOPHRENIA, PERSONALITY DISORDER, ALCOHOLISM , or DRUG ABUSE. Others are IMPULSIVE ACTS due to STRESS such as from FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES, TROUBLE WITH RELATIONSHIPS , or BULLYING.

Who will decide which pain is greater? Unlike impulse buying... Someone who is troubled and impulsively acts to end their troubles via suicide cannot reverse their actions. To say this law would only allow for severe cases is to not understand this law. Go look at what has happened in other countries which accepted assisted suicide! You will be surprised at different situations and people we were assisted in the act of killing themselves.

Suicide prevention use to be LIMITING ACCESS TO METHODS OF SUICIDE such as firearms and POISONS, treating mental illness and drug misuse, proper media reporting of suicide, and improving economic conditions....

So now we must forget prevention?
When you make suicide acceptable you no longer focus on prevention but access and that access is to those who are not in their right mind whether in extreme pain or all the above mentioned?

Look up the definition of EUTHANASIA.

You keep trying to bring in outside factors, like someone else wanting to cause the person's death, or them not being in the correct state of mind to make the decision about what happens to them ultimately. We are talking about ONE thing here, a TERMINALLY ILL person making up their OWN mind, which is in a completely rational state, to end their life which is going to end soon anyway because they are terminally ill.

So why on earth are you talking about firearms and poisons? We're talking about doctor-assisted and humane methods. We aren't interested in prevention, for this person to be in this situation that ship has already sailed long ago. Do you understand this subject?
