An Australian-based organization that promotes assisted suicide is considering legal action after Canadian regulators refused to allow one of its advertisements to be broadcast in Canada.

    If you're riding a segway and go wow I want to die, and while thinking this thought it goes over the cliff can the segway be considering assisting in your suicide? :wink:

    Terminally ill people should not be forced to live against their will.

    Really nobody should. Say a quadriplegic. But say somebody is just bored with life, is it our right to tell them what to do with it?

    No it isn't. Hell, if they have lots of bills to pay and can't be bothered anymore, they might say fuck the bank and end their obligation.

    I'm pro suicide in more one than one.

    I support Euthanasia, I support the right to choose to die from non lethal or terminal illnesses, I support the elderly receiving good end of life care, not simply unnecessarily extending life, etc etc.

    Ah, you meant in more ways than one? Me too. I'm pretty liberal about it. It's your life and you can do what you want, including asking somebody else to help you.

    Just as long as Right to Die doesn't become the Duty to die.

    I think you have to be very careful with assisted suicide, just as you should be with abortion. It's not a "black or white" thing.
    I have no problem with people killing themselves, that's their thing, but you cannot expect anyone to be part of it.
    If you condone assisted suicide without good rules as how to, then you allow a drugdealer to deal their shit, because its "the users will to buy it (and kill them selves with it in the end)". I just doesn't work that way. It gives everyone a free pass to become a murderer, because there is no way a dead man can say it was against his will.

    Of course there would have to be safeguards. You help somebody to die, the onus should be on you to prove it, otherwise you're guilty of murder. That should give any assisters pause to make sure they're covered. For many people, the only assistance they would need is information on how to do it painlessly rather than somebody else being physically involved.

    And yet we're banning that ad from Australia.
