I don't know which case is better but say that sob was misdiagnosed and was merely dehydrated from debauchery profuse crying..and while waiting to die he forgot he was dying and took a drink of what he thought was gin but was water..  his recovery was allmost instant...

"whew... glad I didn't take my  poison that quack left" says sob.

like I said... I don't care how it comes out... we simply have to define if it is legal to commit suicide or not.   We also need to define how much influence and "assistance" is considered depriveing somone of life.

Self inflicted suicide is a ticket straight to hell for catholics and christians IIRC.

Pain and suffering = honorable God fearing death?

if your religious you can loophole yourself out of that scneario red tail.  Sounds like an emotional sickness your dealing with to even conjure up such a statement.

Doctor's don't make the decision.  You do.  Then ask a doctor for assistance.

isn't your decision based on the advise you get from a bunch of incompetent doctors who can't even afford to pay their malpractice insurance?

say they do the autopsy and find that the person was sufering from acute acid reflux and not incurable esophagus cancer after all.... oops...

imagine that law suit.

for those that believe that, "assisted suicide" would result in the same "ticket" as the "self inflicted" flavor

all pain and suffering = karma payment

that said, its ones personal choice what to do next at that time - not mine, or yours or our wives :)

(The FDBs consider a memorial mission but never actually get around to it).

Nobody has any problem with this, right?

2. Same situation … but SOB decides he really doesn’t like the idea of lying in a slack-jawed vegetative state for 5 days while he dies from dehydration. So the doctors agree to provide an overdose of narcotics and he slips peacefully and with dignity into the everafter.

Can someone please tell me why situation 2 is worse than 1?

I have a real problem with making the medical profession the official arbiters of death. Talk about yer silppery slope. Ever since there've been physicians their main credo has been to preserve life, period. I can't foretell the future with much accuracy, but I can well imagine this'd lead to something many of you proponents of A.S. never dreamed would come to pass.

Just my humble opinion.

Lazs, read the following quote from the article:

"The law allows terminally ill patients with less than six months to live to request a lethal dose of drugs after two doctors confirm the diagnosis and determine the patient to be mentally competent to make the request."

It requires a second opinion and the patient must be mentally competent.  I'm not sure where you're getting the "don't trust the doctors" stuff.
