Tony Nickleson-carryon, would you kill someone yourself peacefully or help?

Ok, this is an odd one but it follows the situation of T. Nickleson.

Lets say every 2 days-5days he felt worse and pretend it was your father so worse and worse and would die a not really peaceful death in 1-3month just the law stopping it. Perhaps cancer or something similer. He wants to die, family granted it and doctor too but however the doctor wasn't allowed. You saw your dad (lets assume) suffer awefully, if you had the chemicals to eurphinase him, would you? Obviously then is the legal issue, post mortem, would have to point that it was suicide and be prepared for forensics and possiblly a long term jailtime.

Or the flip side if you were bad would you finsh yourself? with (DNR on you)

So anyway, it is legal in swissyland and could of been granted to T. Nickleson but if you were in thier shoes and COULD you justify ending your fathers life with black market drugs?..... for the better.

I fully intend to end my life when I choose to, if I don't wind up having it taken from me first. I also have explicit guidelines laid out in a living will as to when I should be terminated and how. Haven't gotten to the point yet of preparing a care package, as I don't expect to be incapacitated any time soon, but if I were still of sound mind I could guide someone through the process. I hope that such measures won't be necessary when the time comes, but I'm not expecting that to be the case.

Hypothetically, I'd do the most noble thing imagineable, which is whatever everyone agrees it would be.

Yes I would. I'm from the UK by the way and have a Granddad who is terminally ill with cancer. He got diagnosed in Nov' '08 with 6 months to live and is thankfully still alive, oddly he's not in huge amounts of pain all the time.

He's only prescribed tramadol, but does get intense breakthrough pain occasionally in his chest/abdomen, but he won't go to the doc's for extra/opioids. He's one of them old people who thinks doc's are gods are speak the truth. He also seems to think that if he's prescribed morphine now and has his dose upped then when it comes to him actually dying they won't be able to stop the pain.

I've tried telling him I don't know how many times that there's no ceiling dosage for morphine so they could give him more and also the fact that they'd be able to give him IV or an infusion of diamorphine and fentanyl patches, but he won't listen.
