Topic: Assisted suicide should be a criminal offence

Argument: this is effectively commiting murder; no one has the right to take another person's life

Argument: this would protect someone who's judgement may be impaired

Argument: to assist a loved one to pass on and be relieved of suffering is a selfless act that should not be criminalised.

Argument: to enable a very sick individual to end their life should be seen as an act of kindness not a criminal offence as it takes great strength of character to be that enabler in what is a very difficult time.

Argument: we cannot allow people to assist suicide because there is a fine line between assistance and murder and to have to differentiate is complex ground.

Argument: We don't allow our pets to suffer but because of religious doctrine we force humans to die in mental anguish and pain instead of decriminalising assisted suicide so they can die with dignity.

Argument: when people are in unbearable pain and suffering and have no chance of getting better it is cruel to keep them alive without their consent

Argument: when people are suffering, it is unfair to force them to continue to do so. if someone can assist them in ending the suffering, they should be able to.

Argument: Yes, because it is murder practically and this is considered a crime
