I'm writting in short-hand, which is the way it works on message boards, where there isn't time to write an essay with all the nuanced distinctions. I'm saying that I would not in principal outlaw all assisted suicide (see Oregon, where there is a assisted-suicide law.) I personally would confine assisted suicide to cases such as the terminally ill, who are of sound mind to make the decision, etc.

My point was in responce to rasblue, who seemed to blurr together assisted suicide and euthanasia. You can't argue that because in some cases assited suicide is alright, therefore euthanasia is alright, because in the later case one person is killing another, regardless of the wishes of the victim.
