I'm pro-choice on this one: overall, if an individual decides, of sound mind, that they want to die, there should be no legal barrier and in some situations, medical assistance should be available. The methods in the Benelux countries are probably the most well thought-through at the moment; plenty of education, social & psychological support and assessment before decisions are made.
In the UK, the biggest issue is the lack of support, both social & medical, which could conceivably prevent the types of depression which lead to suicide.
