Should the Right to Die be considered a right?

I was reading a book the other day, and this came up into my mind.

This is one of those topics that I am very undecided about. Someone once told me that they think that suicide is the most selfish thing someone can do, because they leave people to clean up the mess they've started and they've left people who love them.

But imagine yourself in the situation of having cancer-counting down the days till your own death, losing hair, feeling sick everyday. And the people who love you witness you dying. Is dying quickly not better for everyone involved?

When it's emotional pain, I think that suicide shouldn't be an option. There's so many other things to help you, even if you feel like there's nowhere to go.

I don't really know, I've never been depressed enough to even consider taking my own life, so I can't really say that I know it'll get better for someone, but what is life without hope?

Dr Seuss once said: Today you are you, that is truer than true. There's no-one alive that's you-er than you.

If that's not a reason to push on, then consider why you've held on for so long. Do you really want all the people you love-and there is always someone- to spend the rest of their lives asking themselves if they'd done something different if you'd still be here?

So yes, I do think that the right to die should be considered a right-but only succeeding a court case.
