WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Do you think what Mr. Tabido and his doctors are doing is right? Check your opinion.
In this case, I think suicide is all right. But his doctors should not help. Doctors should cure people, not kill them!
If someone wants to die, that's their business. And if they need a doctors help, that's fine, too.
Yes. Suicide is OK in this kind of situation. It's cruel to stop it.
No. It's wrong to take your own life. Mr. Tabido shouldn't give up.
Well, we have to respect Mr. Tabido's decision, even if we don't agree with it.
