We already have assisted suicide. Doctors just keep increasing the morphine until death results. Who, other than ones self, is in any position to determine when pain and continued living becomes torture. Why should someone be required to endure continued torture so doctors and hospitals can milk a few more dollars from the patient and the loved ones and so do gooders can have piece of mind. This is one God given right that no one should be required to ask any one's permission. Life can be hellish. And who among us feels comfortable condemning another to hell?  Who do we think we are, God?
