YES, but with proper safeguards to stop anyone doctors/rellies/governments, taking advantage. |

Actually Maddy even though I say that I'm not sure what I would do if god forbid I was ever that ill. I just know I wouldn't want to die in a hospital with tubes and nurses gathered round. |

I agree with Lucia on this,if I were in agony and knew I was going to die anyway then I would want to go in my own time,not linger on for ages. Maddy |

I think yes it should be, when there is no hope and Dr's and close family agree. I have told my lot that if I ever get in a really bad way..switch me off! I dont see the point in letting anyone suffer any longer than they have to if there is no hope. Marion |

How can it ever be right to kill someone? That is not an emotive use of the word 'kill' - rather a factual one. Also, how can doctors kill with one hand and restore with the other? Would you trust a doctor if you were elderly and ill? Folk who sit on fences get splinters. William |

Having made a Living Will I must admit to be in favour. I have a morbid fixation of ending my days , lying on a bed struggling for breath - with my children at the bottom of the bed saying (or thinking) 'Come on Dad, slip away peacefully - make it your last gasp' So I have at least made it easier for my GP to make my departure as easy as possible - pump me full of whatever it is and let nature take it's course. By the way I am quite healthy at present. |

I think that if you are terminally ill and in pain you should be able to die with dignity. |

I can only speak for myself and say that if there ever was a time when I wanted to bail out, I would hope that a relatively painless, legal solution was there for me as an option. Each to their own. It would be a b*****d to legislate though. |

I think it depends on whether YOU think its the right resolution for someone else or whether it's someone else's resolution that it's appropriate for YOU! Jay |
