[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 631655, member: 1550"] I think you should be able to. I think it's legal in some states. However, it is not the talk of the town here in the US. To be honest, Americans in general (certainly not all) tend to be rather apathetic about these types of issues, which is probably why so few of us vote in the Presidential elections. I care about politics and love to debate, but I have learned that it's better not to bring up controversial issues to other people. I'm sure that many people have religious objections to both suicide and assisted suicide, but I'm ok with both. You can't really stop suicide anyway and I knew a man who killed himself because he had an incurable, painful disease. I mean...kind of silly to try to stop people from doing what they can do whether or not it is legal. And family's do assist in suicide at times, but they don't tell anyone about it. I did read a good book about a man who shot his schizophrenic daughter because she was so unhappy. He did not get caught. Since the US is a fairly religious country, often debates like this boil down to that. [/QUOTE]
