Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?
RE: Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?
First of all, a drug store suicide pill is not required. There's plenty of shit on sale at Wal-mart that will do the trick.

You made a very valid distinction, but then lost the plot. Assisted suicide is required for those that are terminal and can consult with their doctor to die with dignity and avoid suffering. The depressed, assuming they are physically capable, can take care of the deed without assistance. The only gray area here for me are those that suffer from a debilitating level of dementia.

Quite frankly, the entire discussion reminds me of an abortion debate. People with the faith of a perfect afterlife hellbent on keeping people in this world. The more bothersome similarity are people dragging the conversation into the realm of 'I know better' trying to prescribe overarching rules about who can and who can't do what under what circumstances knowing that it's impossible to account for every possible scenario. 

I think the world would be a much happier place if people started minding their own business.
