Well for me I have no problem with her or any other sane minded adult choosing to end their life. However, the relevant question for society is in what cases should people be receiving "assistance" to do it and to what extent. This seems like a rather fringe case to me, and probably not what "assisted suicide" legal provisions would be meant to accommodate.
Yes this is my point. There should be some assessment by professionals and there should be a chain of 'command' before such deeds are endorsed by the state. Otherwise we could have 'sane' adults who could request assisted dying for all sorts of bad reasons.
eg
"My partner/wife left me and I want to die"
"I have had my legs amputated/I am disabled and I just cant go on living like this"
"I have been declared bankrupt and I just cant go on living poor"
"I am old and technology just scares me"
People in such circumstances should have access to various support groups and other agencies who can assist in their tragedies and help them to come to terms with whatever problem they have as best they can.
Am I the only one here who thinks that people should not be helped to die by state sponsorship at the first point of asking and for whatever reason that they feel like?
Just think of all the people who have attempted suicide and failed, and then came out of or came to terms with their depression/problems to live happy fulfilling lives? I bet they are glad now that they were not successful in their attempt and that they wish that someone that had talked them out of their rather terminal decisions.
I am not trying to minimise peoples problems but just suggesting where the line for state sponsored assisted suicide should be drawn if this was to be legalised in the UK.
