Assisted suicide is NOT equal to Euthanasia. They are two different things.
Best bet is if you want to kill yourself do it on your own. Don't ask me, or my doctor, or my dentist to help you out.
I suppose you'd support the following, too...

In case you're unaware, many people who are in the condition of wishing for suicide are not able-bodied. Terminally ill people generally wait as long as possible before taking their own lives, only to find out that they overestimated their physical abilities.
One thing that has been demonstrated is that people are now realizing this from seeing relatives and others suffer, and are now taking their own lives earlier rather than later because they don't have the option of peaceful escape if they wait. Funny that the supposed "pro-life" position is hastening death so often.
Disabled persons have every right to assistance with things they cannot do on their own. I know it's fashionable to be against the rights of the disAbled, but conservatism's rugged individualism doesn't mean excluding compassion for those in need of assistance.
Also, with all the time you spend on FR, I'm surprised you're not aware that the government blocks peoples' access to various medications, etc., without physician's assistance. Therefore, it's not as if people can legally do things themselves.
Plus, I don't know of anyone who is asking your doctor for help. I believe that there are many physicians who would help if not blocked by potential legal problems.
You can believe differently if you wish, but you are wrong ~ not only in that but in everything else.
Folks who think life is improved by killing the weak or innocent really shouldn't be trusted.
