Should be legal in every state. Slowly dying of cancer, Alzheimer's and the like has to be one of the worst things imaginable.

Nic and Trees Elderhorst, both 91, died in their hometown of Didam, in the Netherlands, after 65 years of marriage. The couple both suffered from deteriorating physical health over the past five years, with Mr Elderhorst left with reduced mobility after a stroke in 2012.

Walking had also become increasingly difficult for his wife, who had also suffered from memory loss.

Physician-assisted suicide is legal in five US states. It is an option given to individuals by state law in Oregon, Vermont, Washington and California. It is an option given to individuals in Montana via court decision. Individuals must have a terminal illness as well as a prognosis of six months or less to live. Physicians cannot be prosecuted for prescribing medications to hasten death.

The wife and I considered this after we left the superdome on January 9th 2012

Absolutely. I don't understand why people are against this.

Terrible to take your life early. Jesus made clear he wants us all to suffer till the very end. None of this shortcut shite.

Totally get this. But it would be Hookers and Blow leading in to the Final Weekend.

Because this will never be abused.

Thank God I've never been in that situation before, so I can't judge these people for this.

Absolutely it should be legal

Here is how your life ends if you are a cancer patient and you are out of treatment options, they just pump you full of drugs until your body dies. May take a week, may take a month. But hey another 2 weeks with the family.
End of life needs to be about the person that is actually ending their life.

Without condemning or condoning, all I can say is I get it.
Nobody wants to watch the love of your live wither away and die after 65 years of marriage. While they still had some capacity to make a decision, they made one.
It's sad, and I'm not sure if I can condone suicide, but I get it.

I think the wife and I would be down for this, though I'm thinking somewhere around 75.

Selfish jerks.

My parents are going to do this...They are only 78 now and in good health, but I can see it coming.

Yet the POS killers on death row, or life sentences get every medical treatment available to keep them alive for years on the tax payers dime... Something seems off here.

I predict a future where old people are pressured to "choose" euthanasia. I also predict a future where the government healthcare gives it as the only option. We are fricked. And I honestly don't care that I sound like a crazy person to some people.

Its considered humane to put an animal to sleep but according to some humans must suffer until their dying breath. I never understood this line of thinking.
