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?

i would not want to be personally involved in their decision, i'd rather try to help them live. but i don't judge them or shame them in any way for making that choice & they should be able to, in the right state of mind. but that's a difficult thing, how do you know if someone's suffering from mental illness, if they truly want to end their life or just in an emotional storm? it seems a better idea to restrict assisted suicide for incurable medical issues only. like for example, if you were riddled with cancerous tumors and you knew without a doubt the last few months would be excruciatingly painful, then yes. things like that. i mean i'd do it for my cat, why not a family member? you know.

Medical issues do seem to me to be the most reasonable case for it. And i think it should be a process and not a snap decision.
Physician assisted suicide seems the way to go.
