And to further that example, it is something that most people would argue isn't a mentally healthy choice...
- unless you have a terminal illness - we might not agree with euthanasia, but we can understand someone not wanting to die a painful and degrading death.
- and perhaps if you develop some sort of condition that may not be terminal but that is going to mean that you will have no quality of life - we might not agree with it, but we can understand someone not wanting to live a painful and degrading life.
Which then raises the question why it is ok for someone with a physical illness to make that decision, but if someone with a mental illness wants to decide the same thing it is seen as a invalid choice?
...that's probably for a different thread, though.
