In a 2001 interview Phillip Nitschke says "My personal position is that if we believe that there is a right to life, then we must accept that people have a right to dispose of that life whenever they want ... So all people qualify, not just those with the training, knowledge, or resources to find out how to "give away" their life. And someone needs to provide this knowledge, training, or resource necessary to anyone who wants it, including the depressed, the elderly bereaved, [and] the troubled teen."

I do not think that a person should be able to kill them self just because they are unhappy or having a bad day. Life is full of ups and downs and if everybody killed themself when they had a problem, instead of figuring out how to fix it, the human race would be extinct. I think people who are suffering from aganising pain that can not be fixed should be the only ones that should be able to turn to this alternitive.

Mostly everybody was upset or angry at the world when they were teens. A major part of life is getting over that and learning from the mistakes you made when you were young, not going out and and being selfish and killing yourself.
