It strikes me you don't give a darn about the rule of law, Winston Jen. You celebrate "underground" euthanasia and people defying the law.
If society, in its democratic wisdom, doesn't legalize assisted suicide, that law should be respected and obeyed. When it is violated, it should be enforced. Or, do you believe in underground bank robbery, too?

Peaceful protests HAVE NOT WORKED in Australia for over two decades.
Thanks, Angel.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MND
Good point, NotMe, but if pro-lifers won't respect the rights of the terminally ill, why should the terminally ill respect the rights of the pro-lifers?
@Winston Jen
The Religious Right believes in the death penalty and "an eye for an eye", so they'd be hypocrites to oppose voluntary euthanasia.
It strikes me you don't give a darn about the rule of law, Sojourner Truth. You celebrate "underground" railway and people defying the law.
I'd just like to see Wesley come up with a response to this:
Also, a group of people with Motor Neurone Disease in Australia have decided to break the law by helping each other die. The ones who can still move their arms will help those who cannot.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MND
Motor-Neuro Disorder is much sexier in America. Here, we call it "Lou Gehrig's Disease". (Or, sometimes, "What that wheelchair black hole guy has".)
Not all laws are fair or just. Many of them have been changed over the years when people finally figured out that minorities and woman are people, dynamite shouldn't be sold in hardware stores, and that people will kill each other to obtain booze.
P4g4nite #70232 necessarily mean that it is a good law or that the thing it proscribes is automatically always bad.

Prosecute suicides!
Like they give a shit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
