(V):  I'm not opposed to dieing with dignity, I'm just concerned with one family member being saddled w/ the responsibility of assisted suicide.  And, there is too much room for abuse.  If a team of Drs & family members are in on the decision, and a concensus is built around the wishes of the patient, that would be another matter altogether in my opinion.

I am close to this issue.  My mother commited suicide in whole lot of pain.  Who is to judge her for her decision?  I believe she rests in peace now.  But I sure would not have wanted to be the sole decision maker in assisting her to do so.
