I personally dont think this is a bad idea. For one thing if you end up with for example brain damage to point where you cant do anything and have to rely on family to look after you then is it a bad thing to be dead than live with a condition where you cant live your life the way you want. My loved ones know i would rather have my life terminated than be like that and i think giving people that choice is only right and humane.

However this bill will only give this to you in the terminal stages... Its still a good idea tho in my eyes... But thats just my opinion.
