What if a person helps their spouse to commit medical suicide because they are terminally ill? By either giving them the drugs to do so, or taking them abroad. If they never helped them with this euthanasia the person would die a painful and degrading death in a month, year. Is that really euthanasia, suicide, murder or a crime of passion?

As I see it, it is love.

It is also the hardest thing you'd ever have to do. Talking of this, I am definitly in favour of official suicide in case of terminal illnesses. As it is, it is unbelieveable hard on both spouses to have to go to a foreign country to do it, if indeed you have the money. You two have to take a long trip alone, without any support from family or friends. The survivor will then have to sort all out in a foreign country afterwards. And then take the long long trip home alone.

Instead of doing it in your home, surrounded by friends and family, and with all their support all of which you both are going to need!

Yes, I know there are all kinds of legal difficulties, but that is no reason to let down people in such situations by just letting it slide, instead of getting on with it.
