What is your opinion on assisted suicide. I know this can be a tough topic so i thought it might be a good one.

"Hawaii’s new medically assisted suicide law went into effect on Jan. 1, making the state the seventh to allow dying patients to take their own lives. This allows doctors to prescribe a lethal dose of drugs to dying patients with less than six months to live who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness by at least two doctors. The law also requires a mental health evaluation, making Hawaii the only state of the seven so far that requires one, before allowing a prescription for a lethal dose of medication."

Example David Goodall:

"On his final day, before he went to a Swiss clinic to die, David Goodall spoke about his 104 years of life — and his scheduled death.

The Australian scientist, who had traveled to Switzerland to end his life because euthanasia isn't legal in his homeland, answered questions about his well-publicized plans for an assisted suicide: Did he want to eat anything in particular for his last meal? He didn't know. Did he want any special song played at his bedside? He wasn't sure — but if he had to choose one, it would be the final movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.

In accordance with his plan, Goodall died Thursday at an assisted-suicide clinic, putting an end to a life that, he said, had become increasingly difficult to live.

Around midday, an IV was placed into Goodall's arm, allowing him to turn a wheel to let the lethal drugs to flow into his bloodstream, according to Exit International, an Australian nonprofit that advocates for the legalization of euthanasia.

Goodall, a botanist and ecologist who was thought to be Australia’s oldest scientist, said on his 104th birthday last month he had simply lived too long.

“I greatly regret having reached that age; I would much prefer to be 20 or 30 years younger,” he told the australian broadcasting corp during the festivities in April. When asked whether he had a nice birthday, he replied: “No, I’m not happy. I want to die. ... It’s not sad, particularly. What is sad is if one is prevented.”

“My feeling is that an old person like myself should have full citizenship rights, including the right of assisted suicide,” the 104-year-old man added. "
