For terminally ill patients, those who have a lot of suffering ahead of them I mean, and those who no longer have any mental grasp on life I have no problem with. If they want it done (though how a mentally disabled person makes that decision, I don't know) then let them have it done...
As for suicide... what's the point? An overdose is simple enough to achieve, and if people want to end their lives that badly then they should be able to do it themselves. Getting somebody else to do it for you shows that you're not ready to die. Also, getting somebody else to do it for you is still suicide, no matter how you see it, you're still the cause of your own death only less strong for doing so. Don't make other people end your life for you. Suicide is bad no matter what in my opinion, as it hurts more than just the person committing suicide. It also hurts the friends and the family...
Lethal injection for terminally ill people though, those who can't live with the pain, I have nothing against. I heard of somebody who did it, and they were left in a room with their family and friends to talk to while they slowly slipped away (don't know if it's the injection, I think it was). It was a sad story.
