Assisted suicide: For or against? Is it moral? Would you help a suffering person end their life if they needed your help to do it?

@GJOFJ3 So, you like making people suffer for years at a time with no relief?

1) Who makes the decision? Only the patient? If the patient can’t give informed consent can family members decide? Can a doctor make the decision based on their medical diagnosis and opinion?
2) If legal could it be used for the severely physically disabled? Mentally disabled?
3) severe pain warps our decision making process. Some might choose it when it wasn’t necessary
@GJOFJ3

It has to be informed consent otherwise its just murder.
How long does someone have to be in mind warping pain before we should accept their decision?

@Pikachu I went through a year of excruciating pain, unable to work or walk where I seriously felt I didn’t want to go on living. Now I am very thankful I did
@GJOFJ3

What if you had an incurable disease that permanently disable you and put you in pain?
What about a 94 year old whose body is just giving out and they don't consider laying in a hospital bed until they die to be living?
