People wanting to die to end their suffering or 'to not be a burden' is not new to society. The options to hasten death, while controversial, are growing. States are hearing from groups and organizations as well as citizens who want the choice to end their life when they want to do so, not necessarily at their natural end of life. But, is this method actually 'natural'? The Final Exit Network says Yes.
Consider this: Dr. Sally Hall mentioned that people with dementia who choose this end-of-life option ‘leave some life on the table';  but, wouldn’t anyone leave some life on the table when choosing to hasten their death? Is that the point of choosing this option?
The Hemlock Society offers a "speedy, comfortable, certain solution" to end 'physical suffering or impending loss of selfhood'.
