A doctor or any person who performs an act of involuntary euthanasia is performing murder. The law in every state 0f the United States, so decrees.
Assisted suicide is legal in 10 jurisdictions in the US: Washington, D.C. and the states of California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, New Mexico, Maine, New Jersey, Hawaii, and Washington.
The HORROR of assisted suicide is the thought that at the very last moment, when it is too late, the person requesting it might have changed their mind.

I don't believe in "every state" on most things. Bottom up government IMHO tends to work best except for a few things.
I think the right to die is everyone's right, but I have some problem when engaging others to assist. And that concern is the mental capacity. Many people with Alzheimer's or dementia diseases express a wish to die. Since they lack the mental capacity to make such a decision. who gets to make that decision for them? My dad lived to 97 and in his final years expressed wishes to die, but then changed his mind the next day. We usually just responded with light hearted responses, like "not this weekend, we already have other plans." He'd respond with something like "OK, but how about the next weekend?"

It’s a topic I’m interested in. But I don’t know the answer. There is so much to consider. I lean towards being in favor but know I’m ignorant about allot of what the ‘powers that be’ would have to say and do about it. Curious about others opinions and any relevant facts shared.

@Heartlander I get it. I have heard hospice stories about that

No. I agree with @cherokeepatti and her slippery slope assessment.

Only and only if death is imminent and they are suffering. Whole family in agreement.

@ToddpicogramakaSatan That seem like more of a call for housing than a call for death.
