Mom charged for helping son die

[Frank the Tank]

Agree or disagree?

Personally, if I was that sick and didn't have the capacity to finish myself off I have told my wife she'd better do it for me or I'll haunt her forever.

Seriously though, what do you think? This type of thing, with the supervision of a doctor, is legal in countries like the Netherlands. Are we behind the times?

Honestly, I think that Charles Fariala simply gave up because he was too afraid of his Multiple Sclerosis progressing.

There have been reports that say he worked out at his health club the same week that he died so his MS could not have been that advanced.

His girlfriend told him she would support him and that they would fight his MS together.

I think this is a case where the person who commits suicide is a coward.

The fact that he was able to work out at the gym yet he enlisted the help of his mother to kill himself shows me that he was even too cowardly to take his life on his own.
