[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 424668, member: 1258"] In other cultures female genital mutilation is acceptable too. For a moment let's take Christianity and what is morally right and wrong out of the discussion. Think about this point and if you want to read 11 other problems with assisted suicide then check out the link below. This was submitted to the Canadian Senate and makes no mention of religion. This one though seemed to match what you said - it is an option for most people to kill themselves if they so choose. Committing suicide doesn't need to be made legal. A dead person can't be convicted of a crime. [i]People with illnesses and disabilities are able to make decisions about suicide but physically unable to carry out those decisions. In fact, very few people have disabilities or illnesses that make it impossible for them to commit unassisted suicide. The great majority of people with illnesses or disabilities are perfectly capable of committing suicide by the same means employed by other individuals. Many of those whose physical condition would make it impossible for them to commit suicide without help are also unable to make the decision for themselves (e.g., in a coma). Some people with advance neurological disease or high level spinal cord injuries may be physically incapable of holding a gun or drowning themselves, but even these individuals have a right to refuse food or treatment under current law. While such a method of suicide may be less preferred, it is nonetheless effective. There may be cases where no method is available to a fully competent person, but if such cases exist, they are extremely rare.[/i] For more:http://www.normemma.com/euth12rsns.htm [/QUOTE]
