Doctor/Medical Assisted Suicide

[aggieAXO]

Well, I suppose lay people (people that have no medical info/training) could help but I would rather a professional be involved-someone that knows how the body works, what to look for if things are going wrong-I think this would result in the least complications. To think of someone like my mother overseeing an assisted suicide would be a scary thought. Not everyone has an MD or vet in the family.

I am sure many people chose to die in hospice (which is essentially part of a nursing home in many instances)-three of my grandparents died this way plus an uncle and my father-does that mean I want to chose that fate-ABSOLUTELY NOT.
