1. If they cant communicate, how would you know they want help committing suicide?
2. You just asked this question. It was offensive before, it is offensive now. People with learning disabilities do not by and large live their lives worrying, in misery, and alone. If they do, suicide is not the answer. I am raising a very happy young man with Down syndrome. He has innumerable friends who are also learning disabled and happy. He also receives services and support from a variety of places. There is no reason a person with a learning disability (intellectual disability in the US) cannot fit in or learn to communicate well enough to have a quality place in the world. All providing the option of assisted suicide does is give the social service system the option of giving up on them and encourage their quick departure from this earth rather than problem solve what they need to live good quality lives. Suicide is a quick and inexpensive fix and people with disabilities of all sorts do not need to have the burden of choice pressured upon them to give up on the possibilities of a good life.
3. We have places in the U.S. where handicapped people can work and fit in. No one should consider suicide as an answer to someone with a disability. I had a class of handicapped children, and they were not unable to have jobs.
4. Oh DO SHUT UP!
