Why? Because YOU don't like it? Don't watch it. I'll bet the contents of my wallet that the assisted suicide statute does not cover what these guys are doing. Now the legislature has to go write it more broadly, so they can make sure and sweep us all into their grasp.
Making suicide illegal is an abuse of my right to own myself. Of course, so is making slavery illegal, now that you mention it. Hmmm.... *ponders where to draw the line of distinction*
Anyway, I support the right to die, and the right to televise it. Actually, considering my past rantings about overpopulation, one could argue the state should PROMOTE, not DISCOURAGE, suicide. If it were truly responsible.
