The Right To Destroy Oneself

Defense: My client wants to terminate his own misery with the aid of a friend.
DA: Objection! We can't afford to lose some pathetic loser, who out of numerous disappointments in his life chooses consensually to terminate his own life.
Defense: Damn, I lose my case!

What's the fuss about getting 'court order' for assisted suicide?! I mean, it makes sense not to freely kill someone against their will... but assisted suicide?! That's stupid at best! Why does one have to take permission from some authority to kill someone who trusts them to terminate their life?!

You know what I think? If you want someone to kill you, you have only one friend: The drug dealer. Just pay him extra bucks to get you some good quality Ecstasy drug, take an overdose and die feeling the whole world is yours... and after all, that drug dealer has no legal liability over the incident, so you don't have to worry about your loyal friend being sued.
Just a thought.

PS: Try at your own risk
