should the state or govt honor his wishes and allow him to end his own life ?? What are your thoughts ??

no. he should serve the sentence he's earned

@SW-User True justice would be a bullet to the back of their vermin head within five minutes after conviction, for all of the lives they destroyed.

@NativePortlander1970 if they want to die, yet their sentence is to live incarcerated for life, then the best revenge is to keep them alive. besides, states should not be allowed to execute anyone. anyway, if he's determined, he'll find a way to end it.

@SW-User They destroyed lives, let the Universe deal with them. Ever since states ended capital punishment, murder and violent crime statistics have drastically risen to epidemic levels.

@NativePortlander1970 that's not true. and the death penalty has never proven to be a deterrent
