Legalization.

[Ravenshire]

Again the ethical part is not about making it illegal and forcing families to watch the suffering. The ethical part is that someone may be against terminating their own lives and choose to live with suffering, it's a choice. Just like a relative of mine can commit assisted suicide and I can be morally against the decision. It's my call only.

When I talk about being morally against something I'm not in anyway saying it should be illegal or a crime. When I mention morality I'm merely saying I may not agree with the behavior or the justification, not that I am want that conduct banned. The case of the mother of two children committing suicide, I do not agree morally with it, but I won't stop it. The other case of a person committing suicide because of depression, I do not support it morally because I believe everyone can get better, but I don't think it should be illegal.

There's no problem in describing your situation, I feel your pain of losing a loved one, even though I never experienced the suffering situation, I can relate partially to it.

I'll concede the point on personal morality and ethics, especially since you concede that suicide should not be illegal. Too may use morality and ethics to justify trampling the rights of others and this issue hits way too close to home.

I do agree with Losty though, that you have confused the right to life with an obligation to live. Not one of us asked to be here. That was our parent's decision. Not one of us is under any obligation to stay.
