The right to die. Is it someone's right to be able to decide if they want to end their own life? Personally, I think if someone genuinely wants to die, they should be allowed to. Whether it be that they're terminally ill or they're just depressed. It is their body after all.
Without a doubt in my mind, I think anyone who is terminally ill or is in a vegetative state should be allowed to die. It is only merciful to let someone who is suffering die peacefully.
As for someone who is not terminally ill but just no longer possess the will to live, that is a bit more controversial. In my opinion, it is still their body and whether or not you agree with their choices they have the right to make that choice. In this, anyone has the right to try to give them other suggestions and advice, but in the end, that person still deserves to make their own decisions without interference.
So, although this isn't really the best, most thought out post, I just wanted to see what SP thinks of the issue.
