Stephen Hawking backs suicide for the terminally ill aka: himself

[RIPBILLYMAYS]

I feel bad for Hawking. We are just now developing the technology that can actually change his life and yet hes at a point where his age and the severity of his illness make it difficult to do so.

It's shit that we [b]need[/b] a famous terminally ill person to get this view out into the mainstream in the first place. Able-bodied/able-minded people who [i]don't[/i] support this are completely uncompassionate and it's a shame they even need convincing.

[QUOTE=Killer900;42231389]It really shouldn't, it's too bad that someone with a brilliant mind like him was struck with such a terrible disease, the die of chance definitely wasn't on his side that day.

But if he hadn't ever gotten the disease, would he even be as smart as he is today? Isn't the reason he's so intelligent is because he did nothing but read? Or was he always that smart.[/QUOTE]

This is like something Karl Pilkington would say.

I wish we could flash his brain before he goes.
