I think that after being declared sane, we should have the right to do with our lifes as we want. Then again, who's to say what is sane and what isn't? Regardless, I think that I have a right to kill myself whenever I'm ready and damn anyone who says I don't.

No. I know it is an unusual answer, but it is not in one's right s to choose when they die. That is decided by many factors, not your free will. Making that choice goes against your natural instinct and endangers yourself(no -blam!-) and hurts family and friends. There are just too many factors and concequences.(I know my spelling is probably wrong)

If you give this "right to commit suicide" to old/frail/suffering people, then others will/might exploit it. I can already see the morning headlines reading, "Man Killed Wife Because Man Said Wife Wanted To Die" or something along the same lines.

There has to be writing to verify it. You have to sign some papers if you need help with suicide. If you don't need help, you should be able to if you really want to. What about Dr. Kevorikian (sp?)? Didn't (doesn't) he do assisted suicides?

No, it was assisted death. But I guess he was charged with murder because that what it technically was.

Exactly. It is still murder. He killed people that he wasn't defending himself from. Therefore, murder.

That laws thing is true and scary, but the fact remains killing someone, or yourself , is wrong.

how is killing yourself wrong? Its your life you decide how you want it to go. Death is an answer and I personaly think that if you want to keep you dignity, honer, and respect you do what you want how you want.
