Basic human right. Actualy, suicide is basic human right. You don't need to be sick and dying in pain.

I don't know what is the situation where you live because I don't know where you live but in my country (France) it is not considered as a basic human right.
You can be legally being committed in a psychiatric facility if you try to suicide yourself in France or if you say you want to suicide yourself.
If you try to suicide yourself you will be considered as a person in "Péril imminent" (Imminent danger) and people in "Péril imminent" can be involuntary committed.

For those who can read French I advise them to read articles L3211-1 to L3251-6 and R3211-1 to R3225-1 of "Code de la santé publique" (Public Health Code) to know the basis about involuntary commitment in France.

It is not legal in the US.  Isn't it legal in the Netherlands?

The logic, some people who commit suicide like to engage in behavior that endangers others, let alone the usual murder/suicide of a spouse.  So like drug use, it is a marginally sociopathic activity.

I did not know that and wouldn't have guessed France would decide that way.  Thank you for the explanation.   I learn new things every day here.

Actually it is legal in at least one state--Oregon.  Two doctors have to agree, and then it can be done legally.

I still think that is something I should be in control of.  Why does my State think it owns me?  What part of my decision of my existence is properly controlled by anyone else?

I do agree with you on that.  But, at this time, 9 states allow assisted suicide.  That is a step forward.  There is a process attached to it by the state, but at least it is legal.

Justin Trudeau.  Worst dictator ever.

I'll trade them the Orange Turdfuhrer for Trudeau in a heartbeat.  I'll even throw in a future draft pick!

Nine is good.  50 better.  Worldwide best.  This is why I consider myself "progressive".  There are ideas that slowly advance by increments.  I want those kinds of ideas to advance.
