Hand them a gun or pump them full of drugs; personally I'd choose the gun.

It's as simple as that. You have absolutely no right to deny someone the opportunity to end their life especially when they're suffering in some form or another. Hell they might just wanna do it for other reasons. Overly Strict oversight will just lead to an increase in home suicides, of which most are painful. Give them an opportunity for a painless death fuck sake.

Posts in this thread make me sick. If you were in agony, you'd be begging for death too.

Whoah, are you talking to me? Huh

My scenario was a guy you had never met before is about to jump off a cliff. You have no idea if they are of sound mind or not.

I totally agree, someone of sound mind (or as sound as they are going to get) should be allowed to die.

No, not you specifically. Just everyone who supports excessive oversight.
