| I think part of the issue, is that many people who commit suicide do so not because they are terminally ill but because they are depressed.
Apparently many people who do attempt suicide, often report this to a loved one or the police before hand. It almost seems like this is more about trying to get help then them wanting to kill themselves.
How would you distinguish that a person wanting to commit suicide is in the right mind to consent to their own death? Just because a person has a terminal illness does not mean they are now more able to consent.
lets say I have a chemical imbalance which causes me to be depressed all the time. Lets say that my chemical imbalance is so strong that doctors cannot manage to correct it. Since I am suffering with no way out, Do I have the right to end my life, even by assisted suicide? |
