I could be wrong on those facts, but that is what I read a few months ago. As such, me being a healthy human being, I cannot seek assisted suicide to end my life.
Yeah, it's allowed in Washington (I-1000), Montana (appeal is still being processed) and Oregon (Death with Dignity Act: http://oregon.gov/DHS/ph/pas/ors.shtml) by the looks of it.
It's a good start, but as long as there are red states, however, I very much doubt that this is a trend that will catch on to a large extent in the US. Furthermore, I suspect that conflict over whether cases comply with the definitions of "Capable" and "Informed decision" in the DWDA will bring many of them to a screeching halt. It will nonetheless be interesting to see how this pans out now that the UK has been going over the issue themselves.

It's as simple as not ever having learned the right coping skills. I used to be of the same mindset as you...but the reality is that it ISN'T that simple as just "getting over it". There's a certain cognitive process to moving on, and if one hasn't learned how - they can't. And those are the people who need therapy.
That's just how it is.

Yeah I agree that there are things that still need to be defined. There will always be cases that should be evaluated individually as opposed to automatically through not meeting certain criteria I think also. Since not every case technically fits into the definitions, but would still imho qualify.

yea i know i can't expect everyone to be mentally strong. i've definitely noticed just how hard it is for most people..especially girls/women. fucking crazy bitches who can't take rejection, omg. i've been friends with a few in high school and even a 30 something year old who acted 18 that's basically what i meant about not being able to tolerate weak minded people. they drain you.

Generally I'd have to say that death is a responsibility, not a right.
