    I’m not the one you talked to but isn’t it better to receive assistance in dying so that the experience is less traumatic for friends or relatives of the dead? For example, they don’t have to see their loved one inject themselves or whatnot.

    Plus, it comes with the benefit of not having to transport the body if it was a suicide at home, not having to stress about the lethal cocktail and if it contained the right amounts of drugs or whatever.

    It doesn’t say much, but I would prefer it a whole lot that a person that I am close to chooses the assisted suicide. And I would much rather be strapped to someone when skydiving.

    (Sorry, english is not my main language)

      Whether it’s better or not is another question. The thing I’m saying is that, whether it’s better or not, it is still a form of suicide. You can say, “it’s suicide and that’s ok,” and that’s one thing, but my problem is when someone says, “it’s not suicide at all.” Because that’s just false, it is suicide.
