Right to Die

[paulpablo]

I think there should be some clarification of what the poll is about.  What I think it's about (correct me if I'm wrong poll maker) but it's not about a person on the street stopping someone from jumping or would you personally allow them to kill themselves.

The poll is about the death with dignity act and the right to die.  So I'm guessing in reference to option 1, it's not a case of allowing anyone to kill themselves by not grabbing the knife from them or letting them jump.  You're asking should anyone be legally allowed to access euthanasia services for assisted suicide.

So in reference to option 1, the answer would be no definitely not.  This would mean any emotional teenager who's having a bad week will have the right to go in and kill themselves in a clinic.  

I voted for option 3, but I realize this would have so many complications.  How will the medical team be paid?  How can you hire staff who can relied upon to have empathy for the patients when you also have to hire people who aren't too troubled by the fact they will essentially become legal serial killers .  Religious groups will protest, doctors will end up getting shot and so on.

Personally I wonder whether it would just be easier to do it the illegal way and take some heroin and use a double barrel shotgun Kurt Cobain style I think that's an option I'd take.
