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?

one thing that's odd is how we don't hesitate in helping an animal die, and its not on the bases that they're less valuable, we actually do it because it's perceived as immoral to just watch them suffer and slowly die but we find it so hard to aply the same compassion to a human and I suspect that its for more selfish reasons, its just harder to let go when its a human, its not about compassion. I've always said that for life to make sense we must have the freedom to leave whenever we want. that way the very act of living becomes an expression of our will and our passion rather than just something we endure. we can leave whenever we want but we choose to stay.younger I was suicidal and realizing deeply how I am not trapped here and can leave anytime actually cured me and my suicidal tendency disapeared.
