Well, well, well... So much to say, so little time. First of all, a big thumbs up for introducing a discussion that has real meaning. In a very general sense, I believe that, if we are of a mature age and a sound mind, we should be free to choose the circumstances of our own death. That is offset by all the variables surrounding the desire to choose death. Life carries an inherent impetus to move forward, to keep things going, to make things better. If that positive force is overriddden by an urge to cancel the future, we should proceed with extreme caution. But if the future has already been cancelled, by an accident or irreversible disease, for example, then a person (not the person's relatives!) should be free to make an exit of his own choosing.

Damn you’re quick Gary. I wanted to post “in before Gary” but you already beat me to it.
