still an "exit mask" sounds creepy. I wanna go out kicking and screaming, just like grand-dad.

I definitely think euthanasia should definitely be allowed. I wanna go out on my own terms if it ever gets to that, I think many would agree with that view.

I was talking about assisted suicide with a friend the other day... and I ended up trying to explain my point of view using this analogy:
"If you have a dog, and that dog gets brutally sick, and can no longer behave like a dog, and can't do any of the things it used to, and is clearly unhappy and suffering from alot of pain, what do you do? You put it down. And yet we don't extend this same courtesy to fully-cognitive human beings that say they don't want to live any longer. We show more respect, and offer more dignity, to dogs than we do human beings."
