Someone didn't actually read the article:
- - - Updated - - -"The person is dying. The people we've met with -- they want to live," said Monning. "They're not choosing death. That decision has been made unfortunately because of an uncontrolled disease, a terminal cancer. ... What this does is allows them to gain autonomy, self-determination in what will be the path of that certain death."
Does it really matter...they'd all be dead now either way. This way they got to die on their terms, without fear or pain and with as much dignity as the situation allows.

What right does anyone have to say with whether or not you take your own life. It's mine to do with as I please.
Dragonflight Summary, "Because friendship is magic"
So that people with terminal illnesses can end their lives at a time of their choosing and have some dignity in their final days?
And they can make plans and time with their loved ones rather than have them waiting in the wings for the axe to fall for years while they slowly waste away in palliative care wards.
Plus of course, incurring massive costs to them.
This is better for everyone.
Tennisace likes torturing people. I'm not surprised.
No, you hate freedom. If you had any integrity you'd understand that. You think you deserve a say on others peoples lives, you don't, but here you are acting like your helping people? Go to a hospital and volunteer for patient work. That'd actually be doing something to help people, but no, you're here telling us how 'suicide' is wrong because you think it's wrong.
Disallowing people to end their own life should they choose to is the exact opposite of "morality". There is no context in which telling an able-minded adult what they can or cannot do with their own bodies is "moral" or even rational. And for gits and shiggles, news flash: The right to life gives the individual the right do what they wish with their own life, including ending it. TL;DR: The right to life includes the right to die.
What audacity, do you have a god complex?
Btw stop posting in these forums, I told you so, if you don't you're nothing but a hypocrite. Because for some reason, you believe your rights, behaviour and actions should be at the behest of others for barely defined reasons and if you have the say if other peoples lives then surely you have to accept orders from others to your own life.
What the hell is wrong with you? Make final days peaceful? Do you even understand why assisted suicides exist? Precisely because WE CANNOT make those final days peaceful. Out medicine can't help them stop suffering.
And no, mentally ill will not get it, because they can't make the decision themselves, poor also, because no one sane would agree that being poor is reason enough.
Disabled? I am pretty sure quadriplegics can get it already. When the only thing you can do is blink and no one can't help you, yeah, I would say that counts.
