You know, the idea of physician assisted suicide seems like a good one until you realize that the ability to decide when to die also burdens the individual with the responsibility to justify his existence, something no one should ever have to do. In cases of "short prognosis terminal illness" as someone described it I think it's probably fine; any other use leads to a slippery slope whereby inconvenient circumstances could put pressure on someone, either from close relatives or their own sense of duty, to end their life.
