Again, what I have or have not done is not the point...to repeat, I have free will and I make decisions and live with the consequences. Have I put a pet down? Yes, but not without much personal agony. I believe animals have souls but I also believe that man has dominion over animals...not so other human beings. If my dog could communicate with me, I would honor his/her request but since they can't, I make the decision...and I accept any consequences. That's my point here...if a person decides to end their life, they are responsible for that act; if someone else decides to end it for them, they are responsible for same. Having the government legalize the act removes the responsibility legally but not morally and at the same time sends a clear message about the sanctity of life!
