Yes I do. If you are ill and ready to go I think they should help you.
We do have DNR but that is if you are dire straights. People are suffering all the time but get no relief and should be able to.

It should be perfectly legal because an individual should have control over thier own suffering. There is no reason to keep someone on their deathbed alive for a few more days of agony, or not if they are brain dead, at the cost of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that add to our tax and insurance premium burden.
Besides, anyone here ever heard of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis for example, it is when your entire body shuts down and the only muslces in your body that work are the ones that move your eyes. Oh, and by the way, you are fully conscience and aware, a prisoner in your own body. If I get that way, if euthanasia isn't legal yet, I am jumping in front of a bus before my legs stop working.

It is in Oregon. The voters here have approved it by a large margin twice. Fmr. Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft had it out for us, and threatened "The United States of America v. Oregon" could become a reality, but when he quit, Alberto Gonzalez (the current AG) hasn't pursued it.

when i was 11 i thought that all the old people should all die becuase they were the ragged old corners of society. thankfully i came to realize that doing that would be the same as cutting the roots off a rose becuase they were uglier than the bloom.
who are u to decide when another person should die.

I'd suggest you put some parameters on the question if you want any meaningful answer.
If you think I should have the right when I'm old and decrepit to end it the answer is yes.
Sex perverts - yes.
A little data might really be helpful.

its one way of assisting somebody to shorten their agony and to releive of whatever burden they have so making it legal will relieve the guilty feeling that the doer will be feeling afterwards.

killing other people should never be legal- no matter how you name it
Suicide is perfectly legal- anyone who wants to die, can die.
