  If people are of sound mind to make their own decision and the pain or medical condition means they have no quality of life then they should be able to say I want to die and doctors should be able to assit.
  
  In some cases where a family member is not of sound mind and their condition is so painful, then the next of kin should be able to make the decision as long as the doctors are certain about the decision being made is for relief of the patient.
  
  I sat for nearly three days at Buckland hospital and watched my mother who I loved dearly, die in absolute agony. She was in so much pain and was so drugged up to try ease that pain, that she could never have made any decision. I am still not sure I could have made such a decision for her had I been allowed to, but it made me understand why people should have the right to say good bye with dignity.
  
  I have religious views, but I cannot see why any Religion or State should say it is right for a person to go on suffering in AGONY day after day with no quality of life. Those that do in my opinion have never watched another human being die this way.
