      I do actually. If I was in that situation I’d like the chance to control what happens to me and I know my parents do too.

      I think people should be allowed more control over the way they die if they are well enough to make the decision. So basically, yes. It’s not really for doctors to decide that we have to keep on living in pain and discomfort until they can do no more for us. But I also understand that a lot of doctors don’t want to get involved in killing people. I think it should be possible to ask the doctor to help but they shouldn’t have to actually “push the button”.

      Hi Adelrose – I think I would favour this in cases where the person (i) was fully aware of their circumstances and (ii) was in a state of great suffering which had no cure.
