Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?

[FatAndFaithless]

I don't.  I just think that hospitals should include considerations/methods respecting a patient's right to die.  There doesn't need to be any dedicated 'death parlors' or anything.

Do you think this should be restricted only to those who are terminally ill? Or at least permanently debilitated enough to where their quality of life is greatly diminished?

Or should it be open to whoever wishes to die?

My personal view?  I'd prefer it be limited to those in the situations you mentioned, or in situations where treatment is unlikely to work, or with a doctor's recommendation.  Having the input of some medical professionals should be a requirement, at least.

Regardless of the disagreements one might have about the extent of availability, I think we all (mostly) can agree that at least a good starting point would be having this option available for the terminally ill. Any further than that, sure we can discuss it, but for christ's sake let's at least get that on the books first.
