Very much so, but regulated much as Oregon does. It should only be allowable for physical or mental illness. A few days ago here I was discussing with a 17 year old the purpose of life. Seems he lives a life of boredom a lot. No, he should not be able to Off himself because There's Nothing To Do.

My father had suffered a severe stroke, and had very harsh memory problems, and died of cancer two days after it was discovered. In spite of his loss of memory, and the resulting and often childlike behavioral problems, he died a caring and compassionate man. That is why the choice has to be an individuals, and why it needs to be discussed in advance.
