is there such a thing as "death with dignity" there?
there are a few states in the US where if you have a severe illness (and you're not expected to live more than 6-8 months) and your pain is so unbearable that all you're doing is suffering, you can sign for doctor-assisted suicide.
there are other places (I think one is Switzerland) where anyone found to be of sound mind, with clear reasoning, can choose to die with the assistance of a doctor.
