Yes, absolutely. And I think anyone who wants to die should be allowed to kill themselves, terminally ill or not. (Though really, life is a terminal condition for us all. Your time is limited, and you will certainly die, sooner or later.)
Frankly, though, if I ever do decide to kill myself, I am not going to let a little thing like it being illegal to get in my way. They can put my dead body in jail if they wish. But in the case of the terminally ill, or those who are in incurable pain, they should be aided in their deaths, if they wish it.
