RE: Do you have the courage to commit suicide in case if terminal disease?

I am for expanding euthanasia/assisted suicide/whatever to include the physically disabled who rely on wheelchairs or crutches full time. Not just terminal illness.

That said, I am afraid of death, and while I count myself an atheist (I do not believe in God or anything else that is implied by Godbelief), I also believe it is impossible for anybody to be 100% sure of whether there is or isn't a god.

I kind of lost my train of thought just now, but I'd rather not ever force myself into an afterlife that no one knows anything about. Doing so just scares me.
