I thought I was the only one who heavily considers assisted suicide. I watched my family fight over my brain dead, vegetative uncle in the ICU. In my country, an adult can sign a directive to "refuse the use of any life-sustaining treatment to be used to prolong your life in the event you become terminally ill and unconscious and where death is imminent." It prohibits assisted suicide, but at least I can ensure my wishes will be respected should I end up like my uncle. If I've a terminal illness, I'd want hospice, then assisted suicide at a certain point.
