Quite right Seth, but which is more humane "murder" by a painless drug overdose or allowing a loved one to linger on in hunger, thirst and possibly painful suffering for days or weeks for an end that is inevitable anyway. Ones "right to life" is NEVER questioned and is accepted as a basic human right across our planet - I am extolling our right to DIE - quickly, humanely and as painlessly as possible, which few seem to understand, unless they have been exposed to a loved ones horrible and slow death.
Seth, your stance is moral and I understand that - mine is practical. A dog that is run over by a car will be put out of its pain quickly and humanely, yet we deny the same mercy to those we love - makes no sense to me.
