Not an easy subject and certainly not one can judge from the facts we have
A severely disabled friend tried to commit suicide but was rescued, during his subsequent time in intensive care, he made very clear signals to me, he wanted me to switch his life support system off
Well that was over 10 years ago. I have just had a coffee with him and he is very well and has come to terms with his situation
BUT while his body is paralyzed, he can eat, drink, talk and get about in an electric chair
He does not need 24 hour care, nor is he in constant pain
I think, if I was in constant pain, could nothing for myself, with out help and knew thing were very unlikely to get better. I might want to visit Switzerland
