If you are a doctor counseling a terminally ill patient and you bring it up as an option that should not be a crime.

What if it's Skidmark?

Never a crime.

No, it should be encouraged and done often....

Me. It would be a terrible waste of intelligence.

I haven't either, I love WM! His beautiful mind

There's too much hentai running through that mind to call it "beautiful," but, obviously, Watermark is a Trinity brethren, so I am rooting for him to PWN and to survive all challenges.

I don't think doctors should advocate suicide in most cases.
It enters a slippery slope zone that we are best off avoiding.
Logan's Run anybody?
To the OP, in your case I am willing to make an exception.
Off yourself bitch!
