If it is legal for a decision to be made regarding the life of another without the person in question's consent (aka abortion) then why is assisted suicide so looked down upon? At least in such cases the person at question is making the decision to live or die, not another. Much of the arguement for prochoice comes from the view that "death is actually the best option for the child, it will shield it from a less than wanted life". Is this not exactly what assisted suicide is also acheiveing? A person that has a terminal illness and is in excrusiating pain does not have the right to have their own life ended but yet a mother can choose to end the life of a baby? Its not logical.

I do not condone either assisted suicide or abortion. It is jsut beyond my comprehension how one can be held legal and the other entirely immoral.
