I dont really care what you call it, terminally ill patients should have the right to medically end their lives if they want to.



Patients already are able to end their lives. Having doctors do it opens a door to abuse.

Not with medical help they arent. I'd much rather them do it safely under medical supervision than try to shot or hang themselves, where things often go wrong and just leave them in an even worse state.

Obviously a patient would need a terminal diagnosis and have to undergo a psychological evaluation first.

Ultimately though, literally anything can be abused. Do we stop providing pain meds to people who need them just because some in our society are drug seekers who abuse them?
