Well, as a disabled person, I do feel like certain countries get a little too liberal with wanting to end our lives. But indeed, if somebody really is feeling too much actual physical pain to actually do anything productive, then assisted suicide should be legal. That said, I don't like how "Million Dollar Baby" was done.
I suffered a depressive bout on my birthday in 2007. I had a falling out with a group of four people that was important to me. It was just too much emotional trauma to endure, but when I realized that my jumping out of my window might give me a paralysis situation that was foreign to me, plus just plain embarrass me in front of family, after several hours, I abandoned my attempt for fear of survival.
I don't find suicide selfish, but if you were to survive and live with injuries your family would need to help you with, yes, that's selfish.
Plus, asmuchas I fervently believe in no God, we all could be wrong, so why rush into it.
