Why is it bad to give doctors more power over life and death? They're already obligated to put the patient's best interests first, as I recall. Even if they aren't so bound by international law, they is no reason to expect a rational nation would allow doctors to cause harm on a whim.

This seems to have an odd understanding of assisted suicide.

Yes but, it will also let the depressed kill themselves easier. Also, it could help with genocide

Also, it could help with genocide[/quote]Genocide is already illegal, and the idea of allowing people to end their lives is based in the idea of bodily sovereignty. The depressed do not lose bodily sovereignty merely by virtue of being depressed. That becomes a medical decision, not a legal one.
