Lets use our imaginations.

Your you, your happy right?
What if one day all your happiness, all your joy, your reason for living was taken away from you.
Example-
Your mom got hit by a bus, your dad commits suicide, and at the age of 33 you discover you have cancer that has been laying dorment in your body, doctors give you 1 painful year of life left.
In this type of scenario can you see how Assisted suicide can actually be a god send?

I cba getting into a huge debate now, but I agree completely, that in some situations assisted suicide is the right course of action.

Yeah, I agree, but please use the correct "you're".

I agree, but its illegal because a homocide can be falsely labelled as assisted suicide and the person would get away with it.

I agree completely.

Agree. But sometimes there should be extra help on hand for those who do, but aren't mentally stable enough to think it through fully.

Euthanasia is not the same as assisted suicide.

No, it's not.

Assisted suicide is when someone is provided the means to end their own life. Say a doctor giving you a needle and a syringe and enough painkiller to allow you to kill yourself with an injection.

Euthanasia is the ending of the patient's life, presumably by the doctor or someone else, without the active participation of the patient, eg) removal of life support (such as disconnecting a patient from a ventilator).
