what do you think of doctor assisted suicide?
I see why people do it they usually cant afford to have the person on life support. I am against it if it is not about money, because just like it is not right helping a depressed person commit suicide it is wrong ho help a injured person commit suicide.
I think dr Ryan Anderson put it in a good way, he says it sends the message that some people are better off dead. I don't know how i came along this video but this is what made me think of this topic.

Doctor assisted suicide, is NOT for people who cannot afford to have the person on life support.

It is a decision, the patient has to make personally, and a Physician will write a prescription, only if the patient is facing a painful and certain death.

I live in a state where physician assisted suicide is legal, and I voted for that law. There is no such thing as helping a depressed person commit suicide.

Turning off life support, is NOT the same thing as physician assisted suicide. That happens, when someone is declared clinically dead, as in their brain does not appear to be alive, and the family, and medical team, decide there's no point in keeping the person's heart beating, artificially.
