>Hmmm. I understand your sentiment but, ultimately, we are all responsible for our own actions. In my mind, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and it is the coward's way out.

Am not so sure. If you are in your nineties, classified as multi-morbid, cannot live, not even walk alone any more and have realized that your mind slipped to a level of perhaps 15-25% of your prime (not enough to warrant stewardship, coming from the far right side of the bell curve) and have nothing to look forward to but more misery and pain ? Hoping for a quick natural death, fearing a stroke which does not complete the job ? Believing in getting access to a fountain of youth Have such a case in family, talked over the options, which in itself is unpleasant to the extreme - but have decided for myself: if that person asks me to drive to a country where assisted death is not a crime, to wait for 3 days, argue *once, but with determination against,* to be certain it is no spur of the moment idea and then - more than unwilling - do as asked to do. I my world view it is each persons prerogative to decide to go on living or not - and the idea of such a trip (which I would have to accompany, even if just to make sure any last minute mind changes are followed and action is stopped) is scary to me.
