Why not, seemed to be funny last year when it was the dude in Pattaya, and this dude wanted to go out, so whats wrong with that.

If something happen to him and made his life unendurable to live as he had to now then whats wrong with him wanting out?
I would want that option, if I was fuked up and had to set in a wheelchair or some such thing I know I would prefer a painless death to living in pain and confinement.
I had an uncle that had an op on his guts, they took most of his stomach out, he was sick and in pain most of the time so he went out in the yard and bit the end of a 30 Cal rifle and he was in pain no more, I can see nothing wrong with it.
When I get older and get where I can not get around I will want a nice easy out, I have lived a good life, and have done what ever I have wanted to do and it would be a bitch to have to live as my dad did the last 11 years of his life in a wheelchair and not even be able to go to the shitter by himself,, but he would rather have lived that way that die, I wouldn't want it my self.
And when I go I do not want a bunch of assholes setting around crying about it, I had fun living so why should a bunch of friends not have a party.
