I agree that people should at least get help before they commit to such an act. I actually saw a documentary, I believe it was in Switzerland, where the mentally ill- if all other options were exhausted-can choose an AS. I hated seeing her in pain l but the first 18 years of her life she was in pain... I never knew it ould end like this but shes in a better place, and its just relief. I dont want to get into the nature of the abuse, but I wonder if there would have been any treatment that could of worked before she made her decision...
