With California's right to die law, numerous people are taking advantage of it.

Ugh.  I hate that movie Me Before You.  Hate it with a passion.

I believe it is entirely acceptable to refuse treatment in order to allow yourself to die.  However, to take medication, or any action that specifically and knowingly brings about your own death, is entirely wrong.

I don't know.  If all that is left is suffering, and then death, is it right to allow someone to suffer needlessly without hope?

We don't even do that to our pets.  Normally if a pet is at the end of it's life and suffering with no hope in sight, only pain till it dies, we put it down.

If we do that for animals, what does that mean we should do for people.

So, undecided on this.  I can see both points of view.
