Jack Kevorkian and his perspective is often derided.
If I'm discovered to have a fatal disease that will be long and painful before my demise, why shouldn't I be allowed to pull the plug?
Certainly, if one is temporarily depressed or experiences other impermanent situations suicide isn't the answer, but if one is terminal and faces degrading pain and other dreadful manifestations before dying, why not a painless, but premature exit?
Yes, I appreciate some theologians and doctors give short shrift to such situations. Hey, just suffer and die and quit whining.
OK, but when it's your turn in the barrel and you're told you've got Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or cancer that can't be treated, just suffer and quit complaining, checking out sooner rather than later makes sense to me.
If the suicide is over a medical issue or a chronic thing, I can see that. Those that for whatever reason decide they have had enough, you will not stop. Cars, guns, knives or drugs, really doesn't matter. But I will agree that a GP with a long term relationship with a patient does stand a good chance to know and read the patient better. As well as have a better overall and long term understanding of them.

If positive, get a 2nd opinion - not just from a knife-happy urologist but from a radiation guy. I went temporary implants fairly successfully.Monday, I go in for a prostate cancer mri.
If I get a 'you're not a biopsy' candidate, but simply have an infection or prostatitis, ok.
If however, I'm told, we're going to do a biopsy and then perhaps a complete removal...nope.
I'd rather die than go out wearing diapers...like a number of friends.
Homey don't do diapers...
