Euthanaisa
There was one woman in France who had a large facial tumor and made a request to the French government that she be euthanized. They denied it to her, although she had suffered from severe depression and had lost her sense of smell, taste, and sight in one eye. didn't she deserve the right to die?

Nonetheless, generally, if a person wants to kill themselves (namely to escape a permanent condition of pain or suffering), I say let them. If they want help dying, then I say let anyone, who is willing, help the person kill themself.
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.
