Assisted Suicide

Here we bloody go again:

Love this quote:
But Dr Peter Saunders, of Care Not Killing, said: "It's not against the law to commit suicide - but assisting suicide is a crime. "
So you have the right to do it, but if you're incapable, tough. Huh, we should get rid of all disability access then. Sure you have the right to get into this building, but if you can't, tough. Funnily enough, those people needing assistance to commit suicide, are driven to that point due to a disability so debilitating that it removes the ability to do it unassisted. It should be a fundamental right to do what you want with your own life. It should also be a principle that if you can't do something yourself, that is legal, then assistance is permissible.
Evolve. Now.
