I think it should be legal under extremely strict conditions. Just some, but not limited to:

-A terminal illness where the patient will die in a set amount of time (Not necessarily the amount, but 3 months as an example)
-The choice to be able to choose death in this situation must be signed and document FAR prior to the decision being made. A set amount of time AND that the person has not been yet deemed terminal - they need to make the decision to be able to choose death if they want, when they are of a more sane mind
-Over 18, I don't think parents should be able to choose for children. I think any children or ANYONE who is dependent upon someone else's decisions (a mentally retarded person for example) should NOT be eligible for choosing death. It needs to be a decision the person makes themself

Some others, but I think if it is legal, these are certain provisions that must be upheld
