* Yes, and not just terminally ill people, anyone of sound mind should have the option without judgment from others.

* Yes, we don’t let our pets suffer, so what should our loved ones not get the same care

* My grandfather pulled out his feeding tube when he was tired of being kept alive by machines.

* Honestly, it’s against the law in the usa. Until the law changes it’s a moot philosophical question as failure results in jail time and psychiatric evaluations, further more loved ones of such folk will be heart broken no matter what

* Yes. They said the door is always open
