KalleJ, you throw a lot of insults - accusing me of being close minded, unkind, unmerciful and disrespectful.  I suggest that insults should not be part of a civilized discussion.

Consider instead that I think that we should be offering people with mental illness _help_, rather than an end.  I don't consider assisted death to be beneficial - it strikes me as giving up.  We're saying that we can't help, so we should stop trying to.

These peoples lives are valuable - they deserve to have people fight for them.
