So where do you stand?
People should have the option to end their lives if they so choose. It's their choice and theirs alone. However, if they need help to do it, who better than a doctor to provide a painless end to their suffering? Who is Ashcroft to impose his views on others? Who is he to try and make it harder for people to end their suffering? No one has the right to pass judgement on another's suffering and pain.
