Suicide being illegal never made sense to me. I mean, if a person really wants to top themselves law and order cannot hope to stop it, hence why people still do it even when it is illegal in countries.
Euthanasia should be legal with significant legal and medical safegaurds in place. Such as phychological testing to assess the persons state to see if thats really what they want, medical experts looking into it to see if the pain can be alleviated or to confirm that it truly is debilitating etc. Eg safeguards to make sure the system isn't abused too often.
I feel the same way about most drugs. They should be legal, regulated, open to the free market and taxed. It would create jobs, put money into government coffers and weaken cartels. Win win considering people do drugs regardless of whether they're legal or not. Furthermore people should be sent to clinics if they're addicted, not fined or gaoled, of course that depends on how many laws a person breaks to get the next fix but just taking a drug shouldn't be an offense.
