Yes. I thinkit should be legal. Obviously regulated, though. Like it is in countried where it is already legal, like Switzerland and The Netherlands.
I've watched people I love die so horrifically from cancer, I don't want to die like that. I don't want to reach the stage where I am pissing and shitting myself, am no longer able to walk, no longer able to eat solids. If I know I have less than a year to live and start to lose my dignity in such a way, I would like the option to end my life then. I believe everbody deserves that option.
I live in a country where if your pet cat has a horrible illness that would result in a slow death you can choose to end their suffering, but if it is your own life, you can't choose that for yourself. It makes no sense.
