Swiss hospital to allow suicide

A teaser:

A spokesman for the university hospital in Lausanne said the decision was taken after a long reflection.

He added that the conditions for permitting an assisted suicide remained very strict.

The practice is legal in Switzerland, but only for patients who are mentally competent and suffering from an incurable disease.

From the start of next year terminally ill patients in Lausanne's main hospital will be allowed to take their own lives on hospital premises, as long as they are of sound mind, are already too ill to return home, and have expressed a persistent wish to die. [/end of teaser]

If the patient is of sound mind and really thought it over, I see no problem.

Where is committing suicide illegal or attempting it illegal? Not here, but I guess America has some outdated laws. I know its against the law to help someone committ suicide (even though Svend Robinson never got convicted)

That's true, he didn't. But Jack Kevorkian did. Teach him a lesson for assisting all those innocent folks to die. He had no right to make those decisions. As far as I'm concerned only one super power has that right, and he's not it.

Those 'innocent" people didn't want to suffer and asked for help. Jack did not make the decision to end their life, he was asked to assist them in a dignified death.
Which super power would that be?.....The American Government??
