Should the "Right to Die" be legal?

Asked by essence_of_jade (90points) November 3rd, 2019

First, I should explain. The “Right to Die Legislation” (more commonly known as the physician-assisted suicide) allows for a mentally competent adult patient with a terminal illness AND usually a prognosis of six months or less to request and be given a lethal dose of medication to end their lives when they choose.

In most states where this is actually legal, it requires two physicians to confirm the patients mental competence, residence, diagnosis and prognosis, and whether the patient truthfully wants to die on his/her OWN will.

I want to know your opinions!
