For or Against? And why?
For assisted suicide. You should have the absolute rights over your own body to live or die. Why not a clean painless death? I do as much for my pets when the time comes.

For or Against? And why?
Death is not a right, peeps. That said, people who want to commit suicide generally can and do find a way. Assisted suicide isn't *suicide*. It's euthanasia. And it's wrong.
And I'm tired of the left encouraging despair and constantly trying to find new ways to kill people off.

Meanwhile, I was talking with SIL and the subject came up. As usual, it was a waste of breath. But it is an interesting subject.
I browsed the net and what I found was most those who asked about suicide were urged to grow up; it is against Christ's teachings; it is against the law; don't be stupid; you will hurt those who love you and in general complete strangers telling another complete stranger to "hang in there".
What if the person that was asking has a terminal illness? Do they not have the right to die? We put animals down when they are in pain. Why cannot we show the same tolerance to people who no longer wish to suffer themselves?
I also looked at bible passages and did not find any that said clearly that suicide was not acceptable to God. Interpretors of the bible of course argued for or against according to what they believe, but reading those passages I came to the same conclusion. God did not specifically state one could not kill themself and many who fought in His name did indeed commit suicide. Samson, for one. But he took out his enemies at the same time.
And didn't Jesus himself commit suicide? He know what was going to happen to him. And those against suicide due to religious beliefs do not use that argument when it came to Jesus dying "for our sins".
So. Your opinions are appreciated. Beats talking to yon wall that nods now and then but has the glaze of "huh?" floating in her eyeballs.
Did those who jumped from the towers on 9-11 rather than being burned alive or crushed to death, commit suicide? They did hassen their deaths by doing so.

Who says death is not a right?
If a drip with a lethal dose is set up for you, and then YOU push the button to send in into your body, that is suicide.
Why is it wrong? It may be wrong for you, but how can you be so arrogant to choose that option for someone else?
The ultimate right of any person is the right to end their life when they see fit.
I am most definitely in favor of assisted suicide within certain specific circumstances, such as adult age, mental stability and rational motive.I doubt anyone is 'for' suicide. Your post is disingenuous. This seems to be a theme with you.
I have no issue with assisted suicide.... So long as it is ASSISTED, and not done FOR the person. They must have an active hand in terminating their own life. It can't be done totally for them by another person. That FINAL decision must be their own.
I am however for (and have my own) Do Not Resuscitate Order and Living Will that makes my wishes on end of life issues VERY CLEAR.
Ditto the bold.

I actually had to go to three different Lawyers before I could find one who would write them up the way I wanted them written. Though I do give the first two credit for sticking to their guns on the "I can't support that ideology, so you're going to have to have someone else write this up for you." front.
I did it myself. Then had it notarized and witnessed. The local hospitals and my doctor have copies. All were accepted as legal.
