Oregon is the only state with Doctor Assisted Suicide. Bush tried to kill it but it was just upheld by the Supreme Court. Now California is next. Arnold is going to give it to the voters to see if they want it in the next elections.

There is a prisoner here serving a life sentence who wants to end his life because he feels he is suffering with no hope of ever having a normal life. He was turned down, but his question is interesting. There has been some discussion locally about whether he should have the option. Some think it will save the state money, others say he should stay and suffer but give him some Prozak...lol

I think I would think hard about putting a gun in my mouth if I was facing 20-life hard-time. He might have a point.

Whatcha think?

If that's what he want's let him have it. Think of the savings passed on to the tax payer. A few dollars worth of drugs over a lifetime of food, clothing and medical expenses.

why not just go ahead and decapitate all of the prisoners (such as those the patriot act would jail) and use their organs to benefit society?

Why don't you call this what it is... a death penalty.

And no, it shouldn't be offered.

If reincarnation were proven to be true, we wouldn't want them coming back so soon.

''prove reincarnation''

How would you prove it though?

PAC, good point! If terminally ill patients can do it, why not offer life prisoners the option as well? I wonder how many would take up the offer?

Suicide or shower with Bubba every day! Hmmm! Hard choice! In more ways than one!lol

Perhaps Futurama had it right with their idea! SUICIDE BOOTHS!rofl

Sounds like offering them a way out of serving their time.
No way out should be offered. Commit the crime do the time.

Life sentences usually mean they have done something truly rotten. So no do not give them a way out. jmo.

if they want to die all they have to do is insult another prisoner of different color. taken out by being stabbed 30+ times or fvcked by a broom all 5 feet of it.

they can try and escape...a couple of rifle shots to the back and head.....

Cheaper than a doc.
