You may not realise this, Drake, but there is assisted suicide that goes on in hospitals on an (ir)regular basis. I mean it happens frequently, but it is not above board and any given patient cannot assume that sympathetic nurses and medical staff will facilitate a brief end to a tortured existence, like say by allowing patients to order their own dosage of morphine.

It is far better that this issue be out in the open. Abuses can then be brought to light, and noone need fear being left to endure in a useless shell of a body.
