Topic: Assisted suicide should be a criminal offence
there is too much potential for exploitation of assisted suicide by malicious relatives that it should be banned as a matter of individual safety
there's the possibility that it could be used by those close to the person for financial gain or maliciously. you only have the word of the survivor that the person actually wanted to die.
this is effectively commiting murder; no one has the right to take another person's life
this should be because people that have wanted to commit suicide have gotten past the feeling and have lived full meaningful lives once they have seeked help.
this would protect someone who's judgement may be impaired
thou shalt not kill or assist others to kill themselves.
to assist a loved one to pass on and be relieved of suffering is a selfless act that should not be criminalised.
to assist the suicide of a loved one is one of the most selfless acts one can do, bringing an end to the suffering of a terminally ill person.
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.
we are able to make this loving and selfless gesture when our animal companions are in too much pain, why can't we show the same compassion to humans?
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.
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.
we have many new cures that are being found daily that could actually save this persons life and by helping them die you could actually be taking away their possible chance at survival.
we have the right to make our own medical decisions and should be allowed to end our own lives if we are terminally ill
we should legalize assisted suicide, people have a right to determine their own future
we should not do anything to encourage suicide
we should not force anyone to live a life of suffering. assisted suicide should be legal to allow people to end their suffering when it become unbearable.
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
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.
When someone is terminally ill they should not be forcibly kept alive to greatly prolong their suffering. They should be allowed to choose to die with dignity with the help of legitimate assisted suicide.
Yes, because it is murder practically and this is considered a crime
You would not keep a suffering animal alive so why shouldn't one human help another to die with dignity if that is what both parties wish?
