When I've been in a hospital, I actually saw some people whose condition was so bad that only death could save them from their pain. Some of these conditions are unfortunately genetic, so the fate of these people was basically decided even before they were born. The experience of communicating with them for quite some time has convinced me that assisted suicide should be completely legal, as a measure to free them from their pain.

I also believe that there should be some utilitarian measures to ensure the welfare of most people, such as subsidizing genetic screening of embryos and so on. Genetic research is a new big topic in medical sciences, and some of the next Nobel prizes will definitely be awarded for achievements in this field.

Yes I did see that too when I was in hospital. I was not in some big health problems but there is people that are there. And they do not want to live in pain and make it painful for their family. That is why it is a topic where there is no right answer it is different for each person.
