I agree with Euthanasia and the right for one to take one's own life, but 
I think we're fooling ourselves to call any suicide "dignified"- it's a 
cop out.  I know a bloke who hung himself in his bedroom because he 
couldn't get a girlfriend.  It would have been relatively quick, and it 
was done in privacy.  Was this dignified?
