Question

Murad Jacob "Jack" publicly championed a terminal patient's right to die.

Do you agree or disagree with the above statement? On what grounds? Have you personally experienced losing a loved one to Alzheimer disease or other such illnesses? Do you think that individual would have preferred to end his/her life when he/she had the capacity to do so?
