Humphry, Derek. “Why assisted suicide for the mentally troubled is so problematic” Assisted Suicide August 2006. SIRS researcher. http://www.assistedsuicide.org/as-for-the-mentally-troubled.html

Derek Humphry, worker for the “Assisted Suicide” website, believes that assisted suicide should be legal. He claims “Many people have great emotional and ethical difficulties in helping a person dying in great pain to a dignified end, thus it follows that helping a mentally ill person with assisted suicide is enormously problematic.” He talks about how this applies to both physicians and family and friends. He also brings up the “The right-to-die” movement. People have the right to continue to live or not, but should we help them die or help them not die?
