Do you support euthanasia?

Mental illness is a very broad term. Being depressed for example is a common mental illness, and it's not always something that goes away. So for me, it's about assessing whether someone is both mentally capable of making decisions, and also in the best state of mind you can reasonably expect them to be. It seems unfair to deny it to a lucid person because they are depressed, especially as it's going to be a common cause.

And the person would have to go and seek out this process, jump through some hoops, see lots of people. It's not like I'm suggesting people turn up at your house with an axe and ask if you've got anyone who wants out. At any point in the process you could change your mind, just as you could if you were driving to a cliff to throw yourself off. In fact you're more likely to change your mind, because it will take longer, it won't be over in a day.
