Well, that isn’t really being discussed here. I didn’t see rstrahan (nor have I) ask society or anyone else to assist in personal demise. Should doctors whose conscience is clear in providing assistance for such an act (not subsidized by insurance or Medicare) decide to do so, there should be no impediments, either.

And as of this moment, attempted suicide is illegal in most jurisdictions (FWIU).

That is basically the same argument for abortion ion demand. How well do you think that is helping our society?
