This story is obviously anti-assisted suicide.

i don't think that's true cuz..

You think based on no information, but I have researched many of the assisted suicide programs worldwide.

As a rule, assisted suicide programs require that the patient take the action to end his or her life, which would not allow the doctor or nurse to suffocate the patient with a pillow.

i've actually been thru it and you're wrong it can be decided by people with power of attoryney for example. i gave you examples of why that may be.

Yeah but all said and done I don't think suffocating the patient with a pillow is following standard protocol.

I appreciate that if you went through this with a relative or a loved one then I appreciate that you probably have knowledge about this but you have to agree that usually the patient has to take the action himself, as a rule.
