should assisted suicide be legalized?

When I first read the topic I was about to say NO!!!!! suicide in general should not be legal. Then I started to read the text before I made my decision and I came to a conclusion. I feel they should not call it assisted suicide rather call it euthanasia. which is the correct word for it, and, mind you that sounds so much nicer then suicide. I have had family who have had their life ended using the euthanasia method. I agree that it is okay as long as patient is not responsive. in easier terms. They have a heart beat but do not have enough brain function to speak or think for themselves. I am not sure if you remember terry schivo, but, she was in a vegative state but she still had brain function. her family believed that she would come out of it. Her husband on the other hand wanted to "pull the plug". It ended up being a huge legal case and in the end her husband won. I do not agree with that because she still could have come out of her comma. Euthanasia is where the doctor injects a lethal drug into the IV and in a matter of min they patient is asleep forever. So if you agree with this statement thats is fine it's your opinion and it is not wrong. Same if you disagree it is your opinion and it is not wrong. I personally am against it.
