Pardon the snark, I know you're not being a jerk, but there's a huge difference between helping someone painlessly and peacefully medicate themself to death and asking someone to blow their head off because of their illness. It wouldn't seem exactly proper to invite your family over to spend your last moments with you that way.

I said 'pull the trigger', but obviously there are other ways of doing it, many of which would be quick and painless. Some would argue that killing yourself or having someone else kill you (the definition of murder any way you want to look at it) offers neither dignity OR peace.
Like I said, I can see it both ways. I just don't believe it to be as black and white of an issue as you are painting it.
