I'm okay with that.
I see the Awesomeness.
Well duh. It'd be a great idea to set it up like a contract.
Fight smart, not fair.
Happy New Year!

I would have assumed that the state would cover palliative care, but I guess not.

Ha ha ha ha ha no. Well, yes and no. I mean, it's true that Hospice helped out a lot. But he was literally losing his mine, and there's really nothing that could be done for that. Florida's hospice facility was willing to grant in-patient care, whereas in Michigan, they had cut all such programs.
I share Tongpu's views on the subject that he has presented thus far.
Das kann doch nicht sein!
Does this question really need to be asked? At least, I can't imagine the answer to be "no".
People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

@Excelion: Yeah. People own themselves, they're entitled to do whatever the Hell they want with their lives as long as they're not infringing on other people's rights.
You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.
Happy New Year!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people killing themselves (if you had to choose between dying slow and painful or quick or peacefully what would you pick?)
What I am bother about is giving an already over privileged section of people a literal license to kill.

Hell yes. For some people there is no other way out.

Besides, if there's anyone I'd want to give a license to kill, it's the ones who have access to painkillers.
If it is legalised, I think it needs to be heavily monitored. Someone can't just give their rich Great-Aunt Mary some horse tranquilisers and then say "She asked me to help her die! Here, she signed this letter I typed up!". There will need to be a lot of documentation and red tape to stop it being abused.
Be not afraid...
