That's true but it nice to know the support will be there. How heartbreaking is it when you hear stories of a seventy some odd year old who's been arrest in the death of their spouse, a spouse who was suffering from a known painful, debilitating and terminal disease? You just know, at least in the majority of those cases, that they were begged for help.
I've never advocated for the choice for anyone to end their life at any time they choose. Of course, they can do that on their own and there's nothing any of us can do about it. But someone who has contracted a painful and terminal illness? They should have some say in how they go out. A drooling incoherent mess wasting away or at some earlier point, where they can maintain a little dignity? Who's life is it anyway?
