I've never understood "assisted" suicide. Unless someone is completely lame, no assistance in such an act is necessary. Having said this, I believe any sort of pain-relieving drug should be made available for terminally ill patients. It is cruel to allow someone to die slowly in pain when they could be loaded up with heroin. So, IMO, everything should be done to relieve suffering - short of "assisting" someone to end their life.

This is a summation of Canada's MAiD program:

MAiD is so much a joke, "MAiD as healthcare" has its own know your meme page.
Also, unless your friend is from the Alberta or Saskatchewan, they're not likely to encounter any "religious" individuals.

Okay, let’s limit it to just people who we all agree has an unbearable physical condition that can’t be cured. Are you really saying you believe there’s no such thing as an unbearable physical condition?
What if someone became a paraplegic in an accident and decided using a wheel chair was "unbearable" and wanted to kill himself? Or someone who had a disfiguring mark on their face they found "unbearable?"
There are physical conditions that would prevent a person from doing the act himself. Can the state assist in that case?

Again "unbearable" is a subjective term. That girl in europe who wanted to kill herself because she was depressed claimed her condition was "unbearable."

I think if someone has a terminal condition that cannot be treated and the pain would become too great to treat, then maybe. I would have to think about it more, and consider some real examples. My biggest worry is just like with abortion, what is billed as something that should be safe, legal and rare, assisted suicide will become "safe, legal, and common - for any reason whatsoever"

An interesting take on a thread that was initially about assisted suicide, to a discussion on the benefits, or not, of capital punishment."It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so."
