Assisted suicide could be offered to Britons who are chronically depressed rather than terminally ill, says the head of a controversial Swiss group

I dont mind aiding the terminally in certain cases but this is just medical coporation cashing in what is just wrong in all ways. Hopefully the law wont go ahead.

I don't quite understand what you mean dude?.

Perhaps he meant something not to be allowed in the hands of private coporations and for profits?

Wrong (in some cases)

Please explain further. My thinking is treating depression is better than not treating it at all.

I don't see any problem with it personally. If someone truly wants to die they'll make it happen regardless. Surely this would make it easier and more bearable for their friends and family.

Perhaps their view of wanting / the need to die may be wrong at the point? Perhaps their view might change once treatment is involved?
