Agree 100%. I recently lost my Mum to cancer, and while the end wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, it should have ended a day or two before it did. After battling for almost 3 years, there was no hope anymore. She couldn't eat or talk for two days, and on the last day wasn't lucid at all. In the proceeding years we had many, many conversations about death, and she was completely aware her cancer was a 100% death sentence.

A friend watched his Dad suffer immeasurable pain for 6 months from bone cancer, and the final 2 weeks were inhuman. He was begging the hospital staff, but they couldn't. Three months after his Dad died, my friend committed suicide.

NOT allowing assisted suicide for terminally ill people is cruel and THAT should be the crime.
