There seems to be a different set of rules for those on death row in a prison and the terminally ill in a hospital bed.   Death will visit us only once in our lifetime.  How we choose to die is not always by our choosing.  It's by our love of life and compassion for the dying, that we wish to ease the pain of those we love, but there is the dark side to this...it is not our right to kill ourselves...or others.
