Not only should it be legal, it shouldn't be so frowned upon. It's just as selfish to force a person to live in misery because of your desires as it is for them to leave those who love them in pain. If the subject was less taboo, and euthanasia was legal, maybe the two parties could come to a better understanding.

Good poll, but why illustrate it with David's "Death of Marat?" That wasn't suicide.
