If I ever get a disease like Lou Gherig's, I hope that I can stay strong (in mind) enough to enjoy every last minute with my family and friends. I don't think I'd want to take the "easy" way out. I don't know, I really don't, I can't even begin to put myself in those shoes.
I would want to be let go if I were in a state a vegetation. But that's what living wills and advance health care directives are for.
I guess I'm not against doctor-assisted suicide. People should be able to do what they want. But there would be such a huge potential for abuse if it were legalized. I personally think the risks of legalizing it outweigh the benefits.
