Now, I don't want this to sound too controversial or apologies if it offends you. But I am interested in listening to views on this .
Personally, I find it a difficult one to have a view on. Part of me says that, yes if you are suffering from a terminal illness where death is inevitable, you should have to choice to say yes, flick the switch. However, it's not always as simple as that, that person may be in such a state of knowing that they're going to die, that they just want to go, not really thinking about what they would actually want.
It's hard to say, sat here as a healthy young guy (touch wood) but, thinking about it, if this was me, I don't think I would choose to take my own life, even if I was going to die or not. I would think in my mind that I AM going to survive, or atleast make my last moments worth it to me and my loved ones.
What are you views?
