Raziel9000: Should we let people commit suicide when they are terminally ill?

ColorStorm: Of course. We should let them commit suicide anyway. If they're that unhappy that they actually want to take the plunge and kill themselves, why make them suffer? I mean yeah maybe it's [sometimes] a permanent solution to a temporary problem and yadda yadda yadda, but it shouldn't be ours to make that choice for them. Maybe it's not such a temporary problem. Maybe they've been contemplating it and building up the courage for years because nothing has gotten any better..
