For terminally ill patients...Well, maybe it could be an option, if they are so much in pain that they do not want to live any longer, and not that they're going to live for too long anyways..
But well, for people who are able to do so...Like, my grandmother. We knew that she could perhaps live for at most 5 years more, although no one knows how long she might have lived, since she didn't have any terminal illness or whatsoever, but the body just gives up after some point, you know..
My grandmother did not ask for such a thing, since she was a woman of strong will and determination, and loved us dearly too, she would never think of suicide when she wouldn't be dying any time soon either.
As I said, maybe it can be a choice for people who have like very few time to live. Cancer patients and such...
But other than that, no.
So your granny didn't want to die. So what? There are plenty of people out there who may not have the 'will' and who may not want to go on. How is it your right or any body else's to tell them they should.
She too was quite sick, although not terminally ill, nor in exceptional pain as to make life unbearable for her.
There are some which are in great physical pain, old and very close to crossing the bridge.
They might consider euthanasia, but those who are fit to live, and have no bodily problems at all...I see their suicide as a sign of weakness. I see suicide as a very, very selfish thing to do. Obviously, you won't agree with me, but that's fine.
