I consider Right to Die a viable option. Belgium and germany are a lot more civilized than the united states. I have never serously wanted to commit suicide but I do not want to be trapped by the medical profession if I ever get sick/injured. I don't wear seatbelts because I fear being maimed more than being dead. My person had plans in case the pain got too bad before they killed her with their cancer treatments. I have several copies of Final Exit (parts are memorized), an open plane ticket to Belgium, and some other plans in place should it ever become necessary. I do not want someone else in charge of me or my end. The end comes no matter what. I would never urge it on anyone else, but I do very firmly believe in one having the Right to Die on one's own terms. I told both of those people about it - they didn't really seem to take any notice of it. I wasn't asking for their opinion of it.
I have had a couple of friends who died from suicide - it was no different to me than friends who died from cancer, car wrecks, etc.
