This poll is insanely bias. To put it simply; Three of the four choices are basically no, and the one yes seems completely unsure of itself...

Sorry i didn't mean it to seem bias.
It was just confusing for me to figure out simple answers to something so complicated

The issue of suicide, assisted or otherwise, is extremely complex. I'm not sure anyone could simplify it enough to suit a four choice, 200 character poll.
That having been said, I gave my vote to sometimes logical. Needless human suffering is just that; Needless. In fact, I strongly advicate extending legalized assisted suicide to the non-terminally ill. I understand that suicide is often thought of as a permanent fix to a temporary problem, and sometimes it is. But we as adults should always have the option of personal choice. Granted, there should be some guidelines, and I certainly wouldn't oppose a "cooling off period" either, just as long as the option remains available via ethical, medical procedure...

well Im not an adult yet but I agree with alot of you're saying.
Although sometimes that suffering could be due to a lack of needed help. It's a pity when somebody who's seriously depressed or suicidal never gets treatment of any sort & eventually can't take it anymore.

Never logical (save for the terminally ill/life support issue, but I don't think that's what you meant). Any of the other three work.
