> I'll not formulate my opinion based on the suffering of 1% of the population. Yet you seem to have an opinion already made against those people. You didn't provide facts as well for any of your comments. :/ We all know that pain can only be experienced by oneself and we have no way of truly knowing how painful one may be experiencing from an illness compared to another. That's why there has to be personal responsibility for oneself to make such a decision and compassion from society to agree someone suffering should be able to have a safe death if they truly wish to end everything. I've been in multiple medical settings because of my type of work and where pain truly makes life nothing more than ugly & despicable. I can understand your position if you've never seen a person in pain for decades and if you think all things are curable when it's simply not the case for everyone. I've also spoken to multiple doctors that take your position because they believe someone has to be the guinea pigs for progressing humanity while searching for cures. Anyway I can give you a personal email of mine if you wish to discuss your opinions in great detail on this topic because I'm always trying to understand both sides. I don't think HN comments is the better option.
