It's a tough issue. I gather that some terminal cases are almost certainly terminal, and not far in the future, and incredibly painful in the interim.

And then you have the bizarre cases that Kevorkian sat in on. Not nearly as clear cut.

I consider a line in the bible: 'and he who endureth to the end shall be saved.' Not sure it refers to this topic specifically, but I often consider that they unwillingness to endure pain is sort of a cop out.

Then again, I've never been dying of cancer.
