It would also help if conservatives and believers would stop to work against the right to assisted death. It should be a human right to end ones life if so desired.

Assisted death is not the same as ending your life. It's asking somebody else to end your life.

In the land of the free, nobody is stopping you from ending your own life.

Yes they are. Materials used for safer, less painful suicide methods (such as helium) are made purposely hard to get. Plus the authorities will lock you in a psych ward if they find out about your intent.

How much helium is required for suicide? Would not a few dozen balloons be sufficient?

Forcing someone to provide things for you then?

Why? I have no opinion one way or the other, but what makes you feel that this particular action should be afforded the protections of the term "human right"?

Those pesky people that don't want to create a culture where you are expected to die if you feel you are a burden you mean?
