"Charles Hall is dying of AIDS and challenged the State of Florida to let him die by a self-administered lethal injection without fear of prosecution"(http://www.rights.org/ deathnet/open.html).

... being intimidated or forced into feeling their early death would be a convenience to society. Section 241 is doubly flawed. It is not an especially effective drawback against those who seek to prey on the vulnerable, but at the same time it forces persons enduring intolerable suffering to exist in that state against their own wishes, thus denying them their right of self-determination as citizens in a free democracy. Competent, rational human beings must have the right to determine their own health care according to their personal wishes, values and beliefs, as long as such a determination does not jeopardize the safety or well-being of any other person. We do not believe, for instance, ...

... health intervention to promote healthy lifestyles, it often is not realized there is little or no dependable data available to assess the risks involved in participation in physical activities. Much effort is being expended in defining the benefits of exercise, but little is being done to define risk levels.

... urination, weight loss, fatigue, and irritability. Because it is inherited, this type can not be prevented. The second type of is type 2 , or "non-insulin dependent" . In this type, insulin is produced by the pancreas but is ineffective. This type usually affects obese middle-aged and older people and can affect nearly all races. The risk of developing this type increases with age. Similar to the first type, it is also hereditary but is triggered by obesity.

... to die with dignity is unfair and cruel. It is worse to keep someone alive who doesn’t want to live and suffer from pain, rather than letting them have a peaceful and less painful death through euthanasia. An true example of someone who deserves a peaceful and less painful death is Susan Hess. She suffers from multiple myeloma, a rare bone marrow cancer that destroys the blood, bones, immune system, and sometimes the liver and spleen. She believes that euthanasia should be legalized. She states, “the worst of it is the disintegration of the skeleton...Unless one is lucky enough to die of sepsis first, the death is long and agonizing. The act of sitting up can fracture the vertebrae a ...
